Up until this season, from 1995 United have been battling for the Champions league trophy, but this season after exiting the competition early, they will be taking on Ajax in the last 32 of the Europa league.
Now, two months on from that shattering loss in Switzerland, the United boss is looking forward positively.
“It would be a significant achievement,” said Ferguson. “Winning any European trophy is significant.
“Irrespective of those who have won the three trophies before it is important for us, with our own history, to win tournaments all the time.”
