He said: We want to win the trophy and our rivals are the same as always in Europe right now, Barcelona, Real, Bayern, (Manchester) City and Liverpool.
Within that group there should the names of the finalists. We believe we are good enough to do it.
The Juve of this season aspires to win everything – and not just because weve signed Cristiano Ronaldo. As a group, we have improved and are more consistent.
Szczesny, a former Arsenal player, has plenty of experience of playing at Old Trafford, as does former Red Devil Cristiano Ronaldo.
United will be praying it is a sour homecoming for Ronaldo, while Szczesny revealed Juventus mentality heading into the game.
We feel that, if we win in Manchester, we are virtually in the next round and that has to be our main objective, he said.
And, for me, Old Trafford is a stadium where you like to play and win. At Arsenal, I played many matches against them and they were very special.
Our challenge is to demonstrate in this Champions League that we can go a long way – and beating United would show we are on the right track.
