Tranmere Rovers manager Micky Mellon has told Manchester United they cannot use the poor pitch as an excuse in their FA Cup fourth-round match at Prenton Park.

League One Rovers defeated Premier LeagueWatford 2-1 on a heavily sanded surface on Thursday to book a home tie with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side.

The pitch - which Tranmere share with Liverpool Women - has been criticised.

"People get confused and think they've got to play on a different pitch. We'll play on the same pitch," Mellon said.

"What if it's windy? What if it's hailstones? Good players can adapt and adjust to anything, that's what you expect of them."
