RAF sergeant set for Manchester United FA Cup fifth round showdown

RAF Sergeant Dan McNamara has led his Wolves team into the Adobe Women's FA Cup fifth round for only the second time in the last 20 years.

A 2-0 win away at Cheltenham Town saw Wolves progress through and start to dream of a place in round six for the first time in their history.

Sgt McNamara was named full-time Wolves boss in August after being given Elite Athlete status by the Royal Air Force.

As a reward, Wolves have been handed a high-profile home draw against Manchester United who are the current holders of the competition.

The match will be played on the weekend of February 8/9 and Wolves will be hoping to avoid a defeat like last year against Brighton.

Elsewhere, it was disappointment for RAF captain Cat Beaver, who wasn't selected as part of the match-day squad for Fulham's defeat to London City Lionesses while Army official Levi Grey took charge of Exeter City's 7-1 loss to Sunderland.
