Arsene Wenger has revealed he will set out to attack Manchester United when Arsenal visit Old Trafford for their UEFA Champions League semi-final first leg.

The two titans clash on Wednesday and the Gunners boss believes his side are good enough to take the game to the hosts and win the match.

Arsenal have certainly not held back in recent games with four goals against Liverpool at Anfield in midweek followed by an assured 2-0 win at home to Middlesbrough on Sunday.

The North Londoners will have to keep it tight at the back as they look to quell United's attacking threat but Wenger insists he will not be changing his team's style.

"The first target was to win the game, and that is the best preparation," he said.

Belief

"If you go to Old Trafford without belief, you make it very difficult at the start for you.

"We will go there with belief and to enjoy it, and also will be faithful to the game we play and will go there like we do everywhere in Europe to try to score and win the game.

"What is important on Wednesday is that we are at our best - when we our best we can beat everybody, so let's focus on us to be at our best and not to speculate any weakness of Manchester United because they have experience.

"If we play at our best, we have a good chance and can do it."
