Ipswich Town manager Mick McCarthy has said that irrespective of his team selection, his players will play attacking football against Manchester United.

The Tractor Boys' boss will most likely rotate his squad for the game, with one eye on the Saturday's Championship game against Bristol City, but is determined to put in a good showing in the Capital One Cup game at Old Trafford on Wednesday.

"We have had lots of games so the last thing I need is everybody playing and then we can't get going on Saturday," he said.

"But no matter which team I play or the team United put out it is going to be a tough match for them.

"We are not just going up there to let them have the ball and keep coming at us, we are going to attack them."
