Manchester United were sensationally drawn against the lowest-ranked team left in the FA Cup, Yeovil Town, for the fourth round of the FA Cup
The draw, which took place before Brighton and Crystal Palace's third-round tie at the AMEX Stadium, has pitted one of the most decorated side's in English football against the League Two outfit.
The Glovers, who sit 63 league places behind 12-time Cup winners United, downed Bradford in the last round to make it into the draw and have reaped the rewards with a dream fixture against Jose Mourinho's men.

Yeovil will welcome the English giants, who swept aside Derby in the last round, to the 9,665-capacity Huish Park at the end of the month.
Tottenham were also drawn against a League Two outfit and will travel to Rodney Parade to play Newport.
Mike Flynn's men beat Leeds in a dramatic third-round tie which saw Shawn McCoulsky net a decisive 89th-minute goal for the Welsh club to put them through to the fourth round.
Seven-time winners Liverpool and West Brom have been drawn against one another in the only tie certain to be an all-Premier League encounter.
Chelsea could host Newcastle, but Antonio Conte's side must first overcome Norwich — who held the Premier League champions to a goalless draw at Carrow Road last weekend — in next Tuesday's third-round replay.
Similarly, Bournemouth could host West Ham in a top-flight clash should both teams come through unscathed in their refire fixtures against Wigan and Shrewsbury respectively.
Premier League flyers Manchester City face a tasty trip to either Cardiff or Mansfield and Leicester must negotiate a replay against Fleetwood if they are to take on Peterborough at the ABAX Stadium.
Nottingham Forest, who knocked out current Cup holders Arsenal with a stunning 4-2 victory at the City Ground last Sunday, will travel to Championship outfit Hull as reward.
All fourth-round fixtures will be played on the weekend of January 26-29 January.
