Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini says they're in the Europa League to win it.

City lead the table by just two points with 11 games to go but Mancini remains focused on both objectives.

He said: "We want to improve every year. We started last year with the FA Cup and now we have a chance in the Europa League and the Premier League.

"This is our target and we want to do this if possible.

"We know it will be difficult because we should play one game every three days in the next month but we have good players, we have a good team.

Mancini also has no doubt the Europa League would be a prestigious title to win.

He said: "It is like the Champions League because there are a lot of big teams - (Manchester) United, Valencia, Sporting Lisbon, Manchester City.

"I think it will be hard to win this cup but for us it would be important to arrive in the final."
