Former Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson made their FA Cup win at Yeovil Town - thanks to a helicopter.

The Daily Mail says Ferguson ensured he didn't miss Louis van Gaal's first FA Cup game after taking a helicopter to Somerset to see the Red Devils in action.

United beat League One side Yeovil Town 2-0 on Sunday afternoon and Ferguson, who retired in May 2013, flew in to watch the game from the stands at Huish Park.

Having been humiliated 4-0 by MK Dons in the Capital One Cup second round in August and with no European football this term, the game against Gary Johnson's struggling side was only Van Gaal's second outside of the Premier League fixture list.
