Lewes have been handed a home tie against Manchester United in the Vitality Women’s FA Cup.

The quarter-final draw also served up a trip to Birmingham City for Albion.

Lewes reached this stage for the first time when they beat Cardiff City 6-1.

The United tie is scheduled to be played on Sunday, March 19 and ticket details will be announced in due course.

United’s star-studded squad includes Alessia Russo, Mary Earps, Nikita Parris and former Albion youngster Maya Le Tissier.

Interest in the tie is sure to be high.

A tweet on Lewes’s official account this evening read: “Our website is currently experiencing a lot of traffic - apologies if you are having any issues accessing!”

Albion visit Championship opponents in the quest for a semi-final place.

They will be wary of the threat posed by Birmingham, who beat them in the Continental Cup early this season.

That result proved decisive in the Seagulls failing to make it out of the group stages.
