Bennett in charge of Old Trafford clash

Steve Bennett will take charge of Manchester United’s powderkeg Barclaycard Premiership clash with Arsenal at Old Trafford on Sunday barely a month after his handling of the Community Shield confrontation between the sides drew stringing criticism from Arsene Wenger.

Bennett was slated by the Gunners boss for failing to fully punish the lunge by United midfielder Eric Djemba-Djemba which led to the retaliation from Sol Campbell that landed the defender with a violent conduct charge.
