Kulvin Posted August 8, 2024 #1 Posted August 8, 2024 We are back with a bang as local rivals Manchester United and Manchester City face off at Wembley for a shot at lifting the Community Shield. This match has arguably come at the worst time for the Red Devils as not only have they lost talisman Rasmus Hojlund and summer signing Leny Yoro long-term through injury. But Erik Ten Hag’s men recently held a 3-0 pummelling at the hands of bitter rivals Liverpool. To make matters worse, City will be oozing confidence - particularly Erling Haaland whose hat-trick inspired the Premier League champions to a 4-2 victory against Chelsea that same day. And Pep Guardiola’s side got the better of United in two out of their three contests last season. However, the Red Devils’ win fired them to an FA Cup triumph in June when not many gave them a prayer. So, with that being said, this highly anticipated Community Shield encounter counter is far from a foregone conclusion.
