Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is convinced Jose Mourinho's Inter Milan will "play for penalties" on Wednesday night.

He told Gazzetta dello Sport: "Could he really have believed that we wouldn't attack at the San Siro?

"Well, I'll tell you that at Old Trafford Inter will play for penalties.

"There is always that Italian mentality. Even with Argentinians and other foreigners, that remains the idea.

"They will look to suffocate the game for 120 minutes of goalless football.

"But I'm not worried about anything. My players have shown they have what it takes when it comes to penalties. I hope it continues like that."
