Despite holding a two-goal lead heading into the return leg at Old Trafford, Henderson insisted Liverpool would attack their rivals.
The 25-year-old called for a repeat performance from his team, who if not for David de Gea could hold an even bigger lead.
"It will be difficult at Old Trafford. I'm sure United will be looking to respond," Henderson said.
"They will be right up for it and they will have nothing to lose. That makes them dangerous so we need to ensure we do things properly and get a good result there.
"We have to go there looking to win the game on the night. We have to approach it like it's 0-0. We just have to focus on reaching the levels we did in the first leg."
