Clattenburg in charge at Old Trafford

Last updated : 27 October 2016 By The Editor's Chair

Mark Clattenburg takes charge of Saturday's all Lancashire Premier League clash between Manchester United and Burnley.

Clattenburg is not exactly a favourite match official with Clarets' fans and it's definitely a case of "Oh No! Not him again"!

Former Burnley manager Brian Laws commented on how surprised he was with the level of intimacy between some Premier League referees and the players and management of games in which they were officiating.

Clattenburg was the recent subject of the "Special One's" vitriol in his last game in charge at Old Trafford, when the Reds suffered a 2-1 home reverse to Manchester City.

Here's hoping for an even handed contest with the PGMOL designated match officials, playing a neutral part in the on field proceedings?

Referee: Mark Clattenburg.

Assistants: J. Collin & R. West. 

Fourth official: K. Friend.

Post match, I hope I can report the game was not all about the referee? (TEC).
