| Morgan Schneiderlin won't be taking Middlesbrough lightly at Old Trafford |
MORGAN SCHNEIDERLIN insists Manchester United are serious about winning the League Cup this season and won’t be taking Middlesbrough lightly at Old Trafford.
The midfielder joined United from Southampton in the summer and watched both Arsenal and Chelsea get knocked out of the competition on Tuesday night.
Last season Louis van Gaal's side also suffered an early exit as they were thrashed 4-0 by Milton Keynes Dons in the second round.
The Reds saw off Ipswich Town in relatively comfortable fashion in the last round and and Schneiderlin admits, despite that result, they won’t be taking their lower-league opposition lightly.
"The cup is something that allows every player to get an opportunity," Schneiderlin told MUTV. "I know the manager likes to change some players and it's very important because we are a group and everyone plays a part and does their best.
"We want to win this cup. Man United should try to win everything and that's what we're aiming to do. You saw when we played Ipswich that we were very serious about the competition and we want to carry that on against Middlesbrough, who are a good team.
"They were close to being back in the Premier League last season, so it will be a hard game and we have prepared as seriously as possible."
