Man City vs Manchester United live score and goal updates as McAtee hits post and Rashford misses chance.
Man Utd play Manchester City in the Community Shield today and we’ll bring you updates from the game in our live blog.
City became the first team to win four consecutive Premier League titles last season and United won the FA Cup, which means both sides will compete for the Community Shield. United went into the cup final with underdog status, but goals from Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo in the first half were enough to seal a 2-1 victory. Three months after that final, the two Manchester sides will clash again at Wembley.
Only one Community Shield winner in the last 12 years has gone on to win the Premier League – the game is viewed as a glorified pre-season fixture – and only six have done so since 2001. Indeed City have lost their last four Community Shield appearances.
Regarding the team news, Lisandro Martinez and Jonny Evans could be the only fit senior central defenders available for United due to doubts over Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof.
City are also missing key players as their representatives in the Euro 2024 final, the likes of Rodri, Phil Foden, John Stones and Kyle Walker, are yet to return to Manchester.
