FC United of Manchester 1-5 Doncaster Rovers - FA Cup fairytale ends for fan owned club that formed in opposition to Manchester United's take over by the Glazer's

FC United of Manchester didn't come close to the biggest win of their short history as League One Doncaster dished out a harsh reality check in front of the television cameras.

Fan-owned FC, set up in 2005 by Manchester United supporters opposed to The Glazers at Old Trafford, are mid-table in the Northern Premier League and the gap in class with Rovers became apparent once Fejiri Okenabirhie fired the visitors ahead after 13 minutes.

Goals from Ben Whiteman, Southampton loanee Josh Sims and 39-year-old James Coppinger wrapped up the game before half-time with the underdogs sole reply claimed by Regan Linney at 2-0.
