LONDON — Sol Campbell returns to English football's biggest stage on Sunday when Arsenal plays Manchester United at Emirates Stadium.
Wayne Rooney, the Premier League's most in-form striker, must be licking his lips in anticipation of facing a 35-year-old playing his fourth game of the season — and one of those was for Notts County last September.
When Arsene Wenger brought Campbell back to Arsenal earlier this month on a short-term contract, he saw the veteran defender as ideal cover for William Gallas and Thomas Vermaelen.
