Non-league Crawley Town have been handed an FA Cup fifth-round clash against Manchester United at Old Trafford.

Crawley, who won 1-0 away at Torquay on Saturday despite missing two penalties, will be celebrating after being handed the plum tie of the round. Also nicknamed the Red Devils, Crawley currently sit two points off the top of the Conference table with four games in hand.

In reaching the fifth round Crawley have joined a select band of six non-league clubs to reach this stage since WW II. No non-league team has ever progressed further.

Leyton Orient's reward for their shock win away at Swansea City is a home tie against fellow London side Arsenal, while the winners of the replay between Everton and Chelsea will entertain Reading.

Manchester City will play at home to Aston Villa if they beat Notts County in their replay.
