Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder admits he took a conscious decision at the beginning of the season to maintain their attacking approach.
Wilder was speaking after watching a five match unbeaten run lift his team to fifth, only seven months after being promoted from the Championship, ahead of their meeting with Manchester United later in November.
He told The Star: "There's been no change of approach. We don't just sit deep and try to rely on the counter attack.
"We want to try and score goals. We want to take the game to the opposition. We don't just want to sit there and wait to get beat.
"You see so many newly promoted teams coming up against top-flight sides that have been there for ages, they hold in and maybe look to nick something on the break. There's different ways to play but that isn't how we want to do it, even though we aren't ashamed to admit there are going to be times when we're under pressure because of the quality we're up against."
