Daniel Sturridge: 'Same approach for Europa League second leg against United'

Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge has insisted that he and his teammates will maintain their attacking approach when they take on Manchester United in the second leg of their Europa League last-16 tie next Thursday.

The Merseyside outfit have a 2-0 advantage from the first leg.

Sturridge scored from the penalty spot and Roberto Firmino netted the second in a dominant display against United at Anfield two days ago.

"We'll approach the second leg exactly the same as we did the first leg - that's the only way we know," Sturridge told the Liverpool Echo. "The Liverpool way is to win games so we will go into the second leg and be positive.

"The confidence is there within the camp and we are just looking forward to every game. We are mentally prepared for every job we have ahead of us."

The winner of the tie will seal a place in the quarter-finals of the tournament.
