Manchester City and Manchester United have named their starting XIs for Saturday’s Community Shield.
Wembley plays host to the traditional curtain-raiser to the new season with the reigning Premier League champions taking on the FA Cup winners.
Manchester United: Onana; Dalot, Evans, Maguire, Martinez; Casemiro, Bruno Fernandes, Mainoo, Mount; Amad, Rashford
United have named what amounts to their strongest possible side with Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford in attack.
Kobbie Mainoo starts in midfield as after EURO 2024 heroics but new boy Joshua Zirkzee is on the bench.
