Man Utd have won all three of their previous FA Cup ties against Yeovil by an aggregate score of 13-0.
In fact, the fifth-round tie between the two sides in 1948-49 was the only time the Glovers have reached that stage, appearing in the fourth round in 1948-49, 2004-05 and 2013-14 – losing 2-0 to Premier League side Southampton in January 2014.

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.
Since beating Sunderland in January 1949, Yeovil have lost each of their last nine FA Cup games against top-flight sides, failing to score on seven occasions.
Jose Mourinho hasn’t faced a League Two side in the FA Cup since January 2007 – his Chelsea side won 6-1 against Macclesfield Town, who were then managed by former United midfielder Paul Ince.
