Tranmere Rovers manager Micky Mellon has no time to sympathise with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer FA Cup opponents Manchester United.

United have lost four of their past seven matches, but with Tranmere third bottom in League One and three points adrift of safety, Mellon's sympathy is in short supply.

He said: "For every football manager, I know how tough it is, regardless of where they are and what their situation is. We have different challenges and it's tough for everybody."

Solskjaer said his players need to be focused. He said: "The pitch is not great but that's the same for both of us.

"The players just have to be focused and ready. There are divots everywhere. So everyone has just got to be focused, both for injuries but also, of course, the bounce of the ball."
