Gillett to Referee Man Utd vs Man City Clash

The Football Association has appointed Jarred Gillett as the new referee for the Community Shield match between Manchester United and Manchester City, replacing the injured John Brooks. Initially set to be the fourth official, Gillett's promotion has resulted in Sam Barrott taking over as the fourth official, with Adrian Holmes and Nick Greenhalgh assisting Gillett. Peter Bankes will oversee VAR duties, supported by Sian Massey-Ellis and Tim Robinson. Manchester United will be without new signing Leny Yoro due to a foot injury, while City will miss star midfielder Rodri, who is on an extended break. This match serves as the traditional curtain-raiser for the new season, featuring FA Cup winners United against Premier League champions City. The match is scheduled for August 10 at 3 PM BST.
