Tranmere Rovers welcome Manchester United to Prenton Park in the fourth round of the FA Cup on Sunday.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side are still reeling after their dire defeat against Burnley at Old Trafford last weekend, where fans called for Ed Woodward's sacking and walked out en masse before the final whistle.

Juan Mata edged United past Wolves in their third-round replay earlier this month and Mason Greenwood is expected to start up front against the League One side.

Tranmere upset Watford to reach this stage of the competition, defeating Nigel Pearson's side 2-1 in their replay last week, and will be full of confidence. However, Rovers have only won one of their last 10 league games.
