Tranmere vs Manchester United LIVE: FA Cup commentary stream and latest score today

Welcome to the Evening Standard's FA Cup coverage of Tranmere vs Manchester United LIVE.

United and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer desperately need a win to lift the gloom surrounding the club of late, but they could be in for a tough FA Cup test this weekend at Tranmere Rovers.

United have lost their last two Premier League games 2-0 - away at Liverpool and at home to Burnley - and League One Tranmere will fancy their chances of a cupset on a winter-worn pitch at Prenton Park on Sunday, especially after knocking out Watford on Thursday.
