What are both managers saying ahead of Tranmere Rovers vs Manchester United?

Micky Mellon, Tranmere Rovers: "They are a fantastic football club and will come here very professional. I've seen the other side of that when I was at Shrewsbury and they came like robots, did the job and got out of town. I know that is the threat they possess.

"We have to go out there and understand that is what will come here. They are an unbelievable football club and we are a League One club, at the bottom end of League One, but we are going to give it everything we've got. We will try to represent the club again and the players will run their socks off again and who knows?

"What we do know is that we will be up against a formidable outfit."

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Manchester United: "We played on Wednesday, so we hadn't prepared a lot, but, before the game yesterday, we had watched a couple of the other Tranmere games and you watched the one last night, so the opposition is the opposition, no matter what.

"We have to just concentrate and get our own house in order and be ready for the game ourselves.

"So, we'll look at it again today, but I don't think you want to fill the heads of the players too early with the next game all the time."
