Danish striker Nicklas Bendtner looks set to start for Arsenal against Manchester United in Saturday's early kick-off if he comes through tonight's Champions League match unscathed - and he says he is ready for the challenge.

"I have played a few games and I have done all right. I can only keep doing what I've been doing and then it is up to the boss to pick who he wants.
