Setting the scene…
Tranmere Rovers are back at Prenton Park on Wednesday night when they host Manchester United U21s in the Leasing.com Trophy second-round, kick-off 7:45pm.
Micky Mellon’s men will be hoping to make it two wins on the spin after Morgan Ferrier’s hat-trick and Corey Blackett-Taylor’s double defeated Chichester City 5-1 in the Emirates FA Cup second-round on Sunday.
Focus now turns to another cup competition, as Neil Wood brings his young Red Devils to the Wirral.
Team news
Mark Ellis, Evan Gumbs, Ishmael Miller and Ollie Banks all remain out of action for the visit of Manchester United U21s.
Micky Mellon is expected to many a number of changes for this game from the team who played on Sunday against Chichester City.
