Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has admitted that his men will look to play attacking football when in possession during their clash with Arsenal this weekend.

The Red Devils travel to the Emirates on Saturday evening aiming to stay in relative touch with current league leaders Manchester City, leaving Mourinho to suggest that his side will not play negative football despite being away from home.

"When we have the ball, we are going to attack with 11 players. Even the goalkeeper needs to know what to do when we have the ball," Mourinho told reporters ahead of the contest.

"I remember big matches. Before I came to England, for many years it was about Manchester United and Arsenal for the title."

Mourinho's United have scored 32 goals and conceded just eight in 14 league games this campaign.
