Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer insists his side is not putting a priority on any competition this season.
The Red Devils are still involved in the FA Cup and Europa League, along with chasing a top four spot in the Premier League.
While the Norwegian has rested players in Europa League games this season, he believes it is just as important a competition as the others.
Asked about the preferred route into the Champions League, he told his press conference: "I think we need to just take one game at a time. Of course, both are possible, but in a cup competition you never know. It might be a bad day, you meet someone.
"We take one game at a time and hopefully take as many points in the league. As I said, in the cup you can't predict. You can't rely on 'we'll this'. They're a good teams in it - Brugge, we've got to get past these - and we're looking forward to the game."
