Manchester City and Manchester United return to Wembley to do it all over again in the Community Shield, with bragging rights, momentum and a big shield on the line.
This will be the eighth time in the history of the Community Shield that the match has been a repeat of the previous season’s FA Cup final, after 1957 (Man Utd vs Aston Villa), 1977 (Man Utd vs Liverpool), 1985 (Everton vs Man Utd), 1986 (Everton vs Liverpool), 1988 (Liverpool vs Wimbledon), 2007 (Man Utd vs Chelsea) and 2017 (Arsenal vs Chelsea).
United have their own specialists in derbies, though. Marcus Rashford didn’t enjoy the best season last time out, but he has scored six goals against Manchester City in all competitions – only against Leicester (8) and Liverpool (7) has he scored more.
This will be the third time Manchester City and Manchester United have met in the Community Shield – United have won both previous matchups, 1-0 in 1956 and 3-2 in 2011.
City won both Premier League contests last season, winning 3-0 at Old Trafford and 3-1 at the Etihad Stadium.
However, United earned the win in May’s FA Cup final between the pair, with goals from Alejandro Garnacho and Mainoo securing the trophy for Ten Hag’s men, despite Jérémy Doku’s late goal back.
