Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney says the FA Cup is a priority for him this season.

Rooney has won all the other trophies going with United, but has failed to win the FA Cup in his time with the Red Devils.

The England international said: "The FA Cup is the only trophy I haven't won yet and I am absolutely desperate to get my hands on it.

"I've lost two finals with United and that frustrates me - I want to put right. What made those defeats even harder to take was that we could have won both times but Arsenal and Chelsea got lucky on the day."

Rooney added: "A lot of people tend to regard the Premier League and the Champions League as the only trophies that matter, but to me the FA Cup is magical.

"One of the greatest memories from my childhood was travelling to Wembley to see Everton beat United 1-0 in 1995. I was nine and I can still remember every single minute of it and the wonderful feeling when the final whistle went. Ever since that day I have wanted to climb the steps to the Royal Box to lift the cup. It has always been a major trophy and it always will be.

"Growing up as an Everton fan, we never really had a realistic chance of winning the league, so the FA Cup was always the one we looked forward to."
