The legendary Wembley Stadium will witness the clash between Manchester City and Manchester United for the 2024 Community Shield.
This match not only marks the official start of the season for both clubs, but also reignites Manchester City’s intense rivalry. Premier League champions Manchester City and FA Cup winners Manchester United will meet again after their thrilling clash in last season’s FA Cup final.
Both teams come into this match after a pre-season marked by ups and downs and with many of their players still recovering from a gruelling summer after playing in Euro 2024. This match promises to be a battle for the first title of the season and a preview of what is to come in the Premier League.
They come into the game on the back of a patchy pre-season, having managed just one win, one draw and two defeats. Despite these results, Pep Guardiola’s side are confident in their ability to perform in crucial moments and are determined to start the season with a trophy. Guardiola has used pre-season to fine-tune tactics and get his key players back into shape, preparing them to face their bitter rivals at Wembley.
