Micky Mellon said Tranmere would embrace their lucrative fourth-round FA Cup tie against
Manchester United but denied Sunday represented an ideal opportunity to increase Ole Gunnar Solskjær’s problems.
Rovers, languishing 21st in League One, secured a home tie with Old Trafford’s fallen giants by overcoming Watford in extra time at Prenton Park. Mellon was manager of Shrewsbury Town when Louis van Gaal’s team won a fifth-round encounter en route to claiming the FA Cup in 2016 and insisted first-hand experience taught him not to treat United lightly.
