Tranmere Rovers fans queue at Prenton Park to secure Man United tickets ahead of FA Cup clash

Tranmere Rovers fans have been queuing in their droves to secure tickets for their FA Cup fourth-round showdown with Manchester United.

The Whites will face off against Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side at Prenton Park on Sunday after they defeated Premier League outfit Watford on Thursday evening.

A goal in the 104th minute of extra time from Paul Mullin was enough to complete the incredible giant killing.

Central defender Manny Monthe put Rovers ahead in the first-half but the Hornets hit back after the break through Kaylen Hinds.

Fans have been queuing up to secure their seats for the glamour tie against 20-time English champions which is expected to be a sell-out.

It is the first time Tranmere have reached this stage of the competition since the 2003/04 campaign.

Tickets are currently available to season ticket holders and anyone possessing a stub from the Watford win.
