It is a battle between two historic rivals. The 2024 Community Shield final will see Manchester City take on Manchester United, in a game that’ll mark the official beginning of the 2024-25 season for both teams.

City were the Premier League Champions last season, after a tough battle against Arsenal through the season for the league trophy. United on the other hand, got their hands on the FA Cup trophy despite a poor season, defeating their arch-rivals Manchester City in the final.

With that being said, let us now take a look at everything you need to know, ahead of this clash.

Player to watch

Erling Haaland (Manchester City)

Erling had a disappointing campaign last season by his standards, and will be keen on making an impact from the very first game of the 24-25 season. The Norwegian linchpin will have to be crisp and accurate in front of the goal, if he wants to add another title to his cabinet on Saturday.

Kobbie Mainoo (Manchester United)

Manchester United’s young star Kobbie Mainoo had an amazing 23-24 season with the Red Devils, as he made his way into the first team, and consolidated his place in the lineup. The midfielder’s presence in the field will give United a lot of fluidity in their play, and the youngsters contribution on Saturday is going to be key.
