Man Utd beat Crawley in the FA Cup as far as I can remember. No idea what the answer is though.

Yep.
Each and every one of the last 38 [?] FA Cup matches Man Utd have played has been televised live.
Ker-ching!!
[The date I quoted was meant to be the date of the Exeter replay, btw. Apologies if I cocked it up.]
