Christian Eriksen says Manchester United are taking each game step-by-step in every competition, although the players have not been told by Erik ten Hag which trophies to target.
The Dane featured and scored in Wednesday’s 2-0 win over Burnley in the Carabao Cup to set up a quarter-final tie with League One Charlton Athletic in three weeks' time. United are still in every competition available to them this season with their FA Cup campaign getting underway against Everton on January 6.
They also have a tasty Europa League knock-out clash with Barcelona to look forward to in February and March. Ten Hag has vowed to try and aim for each trophy although admitted that a top four finish is the main goal.

“In the league we need to get in the right position and then we have the cup, we want to win every game and every trophy so we have to go for it,” he said earlier this season.
“I want to win trophies, of course but we want to qualify as one of the first four, that has to be the aim, to get there." Aside from the league objective, Eriksen has now revealed that the players have not been asked to focus on one trophy in particular.
Instead, the midfielder looked at the team’s progress in perspective, stating that the Carabao Cup is still important given United have gone five years without a trophy. “It’s been a few years since winning a trophy the last time,” Eriksen told talkSPORT.
“From where the club were to where we are now, the aim is to focus on every competition and see where we are in the end.
“It hasn’t specifically been said that we have to win this or win that, all of the players just want to win as much as possible, but to get there we first need to prove that we deserve to be there.
“For us it’s about every tournament. Like you saw against Burnley, even the Carabao Cup is important for us.”
