Leeds United are set to boost their coffers thanks to the FA Cup clash against Manchester United.

Chairman Ken Bates estimated that next month's FA Cup third-round tie at Manchester United would generate as much as £750,000, and on Wednesday he described the game as "a substantial contribution to our bottom-line income - win, lose or draw".

Bates added: "It will be a fantastic day. Maybe we can do a Kettering on them - or even maybe a Histon."
