Man Utd boss Ferguson: We need away goal at Chelsea

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is seeking a goal at Chelsea in tonight's Champions League first-leg quarterfinal.

Ferguson admits an away goal will be crucial.

"The name of the game is to go back to Old Trafford with a goal in our pocket. Or hopefully even two goals," the manager said. "We want to make sure we go back there with a great chance of qualifying. If we go back to Old Trafford with some advantage we'll be very difficult to beat on our own ground.

"I was happy [when the draw was made] to have the second leg at Old Trafford. It will be a magnificent atmosphere, the fans will be up for it. And when Old Trafford is like that it's a wonderful place to be. Hopefully we go back with some advantage."
