The team formed by disenchanted Manchester United fans could be just a game away from facing the club they rebelled against after it was bought by American tycoon Malcolm Glazer.
FC United, which has rapidly risen to the seventh tier of English football after five years in existence, has now reached the second round of the FA Cup with a 3-2 victory over third-tier club Rochdale.
Victory in the next game would take the semiprofessional side to the stage when the top teams, including Manchester United, enter world football's oldest knockout competition.
On the prospect of playing at Man United, FC United manager Karl Marginson says that "for a lot of our fans it would be a nightmare because they have vowed never to go to Old Trafford again."
