Nigel de Jong has insisted that Manchester City are looking to win the Europa League this season and are not just in the competition to make up the numbers.
City begin their group stage campaign away at Red Bull Salzburg this evening and De Jong maintains that the competition is being taken very seriously indeed by Roberto Mancini's side, who are desperate to win some silverware.
"We expect to win something this season. Being the first one for so long, it doesn't really matter which it is," he told reporters.
