Why Yeovil Town would love to clinch Man Utd Cup replay...

Yeovil Town will earn a cool £221,000 from today's FA Cup tie with Manchester United.

And they could make SEVEN times that amount if the Glovers can force a replay.

The Mail on Sunday reports the FA dish out £27,000 in prize money for a second-round victory, plus the club will earn a further £144,000 from BT Sport, who will broadcast the third round tie live.

Yeovil are set to earn in the region of £50,000 in gate receipts with the United tie sold out at Yeovil's 9,565-seater stadium.

Yeovil could be set to earn a staggering £1.5m from the third round tie if they force a replay at old Trafford.
