Johnson: 'We need a miracle to beat United'

Yeovil Town boss Gary Johnson has admitted that his side will need a "miracle" to beat Manchester United in the third round of the FA Cup.

The Glovers are currently bottom of League One and have lost their last three matches on the spin, while Louis van Gaal's men are unbeaten in their last 10 games in the Premier League and they reside 64 places above Johnson's side.

"We'd need a miracle to pull it off," Johnson told reporters. "But the FA Cup is the FA Cup, that's the beauty of it nobody knows what's going to happen.

"I was over the moon when we were drawn against Manchester United. I was in the house watching the draw with my wife and we both jumped up in the air and high-fived each other."

Yeovil have reached the fourth round of the competition just twice in their history.
