The 2024/25 football season gets under way in the traditional manner, with the Community Shield set to raise the curtain on the new campaign. We could be set for a thrilling match at Wembley, as Man City and Man Utd renew hostilities with a trophy up for grabs.
These two teams last met in the FA Cup final in May where Man Utd sprang a surprise and ran out 2-1 winners. That result sent them through to this weekend’s game, which pits the FA Cup winners against the Premier League champions.
Man Utd have been the busier of the two teams this summer, bringing in the Dutch attacker Joshua Zirkzee and the French defender Leny Yoro (although the latter will miss this game through injury). Man City’s only signing to date is the 20-year-old winger Savinho, while Julian Alvarez is on the verge of joining Atletico Madrid.
Man City will almost certainly finish higher up the Premier League table than Man Utd this season, but the Red Devils are arguably better prepared for the Community Shield. They will be happy to cede possession before breaking at speed on the counter, just as they did in the FA Cup final.
Another victory over their rivals at Wembley would be the perfect way for Man Utd to start the season. However, writing off Man City is never wise.
