Latest Man City vs MU match review
Almost 11 weeks after Manchester United's 2-1 win over Manchester City in the FA Cup final, the club prepares to face their old rivals in the Community Shield. Under Erik ten Hag, United won the FA Cup for the 13th time, denied Manchester City a domestic double and overcame a poor Premier League season.
Manchester United are now entering a new era under the leadership of Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS, with new signings such as Leny Yoro and Joshua Zirkzee. Despite a shaky pre-season, the team remains optimistic about the new season.
Manchester City, despite failing to complete the treble, won their fourth consecutive Premier League title and ended their summer tour with a 4-2 win over Chelsea thanks to an Erling Haaland hat-trick. Under Pep Guardiola, the team will be aiming to win a seventh Community Shield.
This will be Manchester United's 31st appearance in the Community Shield, their first since 2016. With 21 wins in their previous 30 finals, they will be hoping to break a new record. However, Manchester City, in good form and with seven wins in their last 10 meetings, will not be easy to beat. Both teams may choose to take a cautious approach to avoid injuries before the Premier League starts on August 16.
