Manchester United playmaker Bruno Fernandes says the club should be aiming higher than the Europa League.

United are ahead 6-2 in the semi-final against Roma, with the second leg in Italy to be played on Thursday.

Despite wanting to win a trophy with the Red Devils, Fernandes admits he has higher ambitions.

"For us, it is a signal of improvement if we win the Europa League, because last season we didn't win anything. So, if we win a trophy this season it is an improvement - but still not enough for us," he said.

"But it is something growing up from the club. From the players, it is a sign that we are doing a little bit better, but we have still a lot to improve on as I said before, and we will improve.

"Honestly, for me when you play a club like this your standard has to be high.

"For me, the game against Roma was not my best, but of course on numbers, everyone will say it is the best one I have done because the two goals and two assists I think was the first time I did it for the club, but of course it was a good game.

"I think also individually I played really well but I want to improve. I want to improve so I have to do maybe next time two assists and two goals, or three goals and two assists to improve again, but the most important for me is the way we win and we are closer to getting the trophy."
