REWIND
Herrera and Di Maria (remember him?) were on the scoresheet when these two sides last met, in 2015 when Manchester United won 2-0.

MATCH STAT
Manchester United have progressed in each of their last 16 FA Cup ties as a top-flight side against teams from the fourth tier or lower, keeping clean sheets in each of their last 11 games.

Just so you can get an idea of the stark differences between the two club's finances: Sanchez earns £350,000 a week, or £50,000 per day, 10 times more than Yeovil's budget of £23,000 each week.
Madness.

What a fantastic night for Yeovil who host 12-time FA Cup winners Manchester United for the second time in just over three years. Both clubs have since changed managers, while Town have dropped a division. This match could prove a distraction for the League Two side though - Way's charges are currently 21st, just one point off the drop zone..

Yeovil Town manager Darren Way: "Sometimes people don't dream big enough. We have worked extremely hard against all the odds to get this opportunity. What I don't want my players to do is waste it.
"If we get a result this will be the biggest story ever in Yeovil's history."

"Alexis changed from a fantastic club to a giant club and [Henrikh] Mkhitaryan changed for a fantastic club, so it was a great deal for everybody."
