Leonardo expects an open, attacking game from United

AC Milan coach Leonardo expects Manchester United to go for his side's jugular in Wednesday's Champions League clash at Old Trafford.

With a 3-2 lead from the first leg, United could opt to try and defend their advantage but a cagey approach would come as a major surprise to the Milan boss.

"I don't see them doing that," he said. "Big teams don't change their style fundamentally. They might make little adjustments but I can't seem them making radical changes. With United it is pretty much the same game whether they are at home or away."

With an open game in prospect, Leonardo voiced confidence about his side's prospects of overturning their deficit, even if that will require scoring two goals at least in a match in which one goal for United would probably be fatal to their chances of reaching the last eight.

"Even in the first leg there were many positive aspects to the way we played," the Brazilian added. "We were playing well before and have played well since that game.

"I think it will be more about approach and attitude than tactics. We just have to go out and make the most of our opportunites."
