In what is arguably the tie of The FA Fourth Round League Two Cambridge United host Manchester United, and manager Richard Money says it is a dream come true.
The U's are 14th in England's fourth tier and can expect a sell-out at Abbey Stadium, and Money could not hide his delight as his side were pulled out of the hat against the 11-time winners.
"It's a game you can only dream of and there were just so many emotions going through my mind when the draw was made," he said.
"I'm not counting my chickens just yet but I'd expect the game to be selected for live television so it will obviously be a huge boost financially.
"Our finances are stable anyway but this tie will enable us to make improvements on and off the field far quicker than we could have done.
"We've got two league games until we play United and I'll make sure we keep everyone's feet on the ground.
"I'll have to get a nice bottle of wine ready for Louis van Gaal; I'll probably have to have a word with the chairman."

Meanwhile, Liverpool skipper Steve Gerrard is hoping a home tie against Bolton will mark another step towards his dream of bidding farewell to Merseyside by lifting the Cup at Wembley.
Gerrard is to leave Liverpool at the end of the season and wants to go out on a high by winning the FA Cup Final on May 30, a day that also marks his 35th birthday.
Speaking after he scored twice in Liverpool's Third Round win at Wimbledon and reacting to the draw, he said: "It's going to be my last time [in the FA Cup], so I want to make the most of it and go all the way.
"That's what dreams are made of and hopefully that will be the case. Bolton at home in the next round will be another difficult test, I know Neil Lennon and I know he'll set up his team so they are difficult to beat.
"I always enjoy the FA Cup, I grew up loving the competition. If I wasn't here playing for this team I'd probably be in the stands watching.
"I know what it means to every single supporter, that's why I always try and give it my best.
"This will be the last time I play in the FA Cup so I want to go all the way."

Another tie to catch they eye features holders Arsenal travelling to Brighton and Hove Albion.
The coastal club's chief executive Paul Barber, like manager Chris Hughton, is a former Tottenham man.
He told the club's official website: "It's fantastic for the football club, great for the supporters and obviously terrific for Chris, who has spent many years on the other side of North London battling these guys, so it should be a great draw for everyone.
"I'm really excited about it and at Spurs we spent many years battling against Arsenal.
"They were arguably at their best during that period, but I'm looking forward to having them back at the Amex and I'm particularly pleased for our fans who deserve a big, plum, home draw like this, it's fantastic.

"It's great for the fans. It's fantastic for the club's reputation across the world.
"The FA Cup is the most popular competition anywhere in the world, and in many cases it is broadcast live across more than 200 countries every year, so it's magnificent for the club's reputation.
"Obviously financially there are rewards too, particularly if we get selected for live TV.
"We'd expect a good crowd, good hospitality sales and retail revenue. It should be a really good day for the club and if we progress, then even better!"
