GLOVERS DREAMING OF UNITED TIE

Yeovil Town will host Manchester United in the third round of the FA Cup after they finally defeated Accrington Stanley at Huish Park.

Late goals from Simon Gillett and Kieffer Moore secured the Glovers' passage through to the next stage of the competition, and ensures that Yeovil will be facing the Red Devils for the first time since their famous FA Cup fifth round meeting at Maine Road - Old Trafford was out of action due to Second World War bomb damage - in 1949.

It will also be the first ever FA Cup tie that United manager Louis Van Gaal has ever been involved in. The Dutchman has managed in its Dutch, Spanish and German equivalents over the years, but this will be his first as a manager in the world's oldest club knock out competition.
