MILAN, Italy, May 1 (Xinhua) -- Manchester United is to play an attacking game against AC Milan despite holding a 3-2 lead in the first leg, coach Alex Ferguson said on Tuesday.

"I don't think sitting back would do me, the team or the fans any good," he said.

After taking the first leg 3-2 at Old Trafford, United needs only a draw Wednesday at San Siro to reach its third European final in Athens.

"We're going to do it our way, win or lose. We will have an attacking emphasis with discipline," Ferguson said.
