Manchester United signing Romelu Lukaku says Champions League football is the reason why he decided to leave Everton.
The Belgium international signed for the Red Devils for an initial £75million.
Chelsea were also interested but the 24-year-old decided to join manager Jose Mourinho and friend Paul Pogba at Old Trafford.
"I have been a pro for eight years and I have never had a taste of the Champions League group stages," he is quoted as saying by The Sun.
"It is something I have always wanted, that competition has something, I want to see how it is and to have a taste.
"Now to have that opportunity and to challenge to win it is the best thing.
"We are going to be prepared and we are all going to work hard in these upcoming weeks so we are prepared to challenge for the trophies.
"Obviously the World Cup is nice and the Euros is really nice as well, but I have always dreamed of the Champions League.
"With the World Cup, with Belgium at the time when I was a kid, you never knew if you had the chance to win it but now we have a talented generation.
"But with Manchester United, we can challenge every year to win the Champions League.
"The club is in a rebuilding process and the manager is doing the right things to take the club back to where it belongs. That is the exciting part."
