Bayern Munich captain Philipp Lahm has claimed that his team will do all they can to beat Manchester United in the Champions League quarter-finals on Wednesday night.

The defending champions host United for the second leg of the encounter having drawn 1-1 at Old Trafford last week.

Lahm has warned the visitors to expect a typical possession-based display from Bayern, who are looking to become the first side to retain the title since it was re-branded in 1992.

"We'll go into tomorrow's game absolutely determined to reach the semi-finals," the captain told reporters on Tuesday. "We've got to do what we always do. We have to make the most of our own possession."

Bayern defeated Arsenal 3-1 on aggregate in the last round, while United saw off Olympiacos 3-2 over two legs.
