FA confirms date and time for Community Shield
The fixture, which is widely acknowledged as the starting gun for the English football season, pits the winners of the Emirates FA Cup, United, against the reigning Premier League champions Manchester City.
Of course, that means a repeat of last season's FA Cup final, where United memorably overcame the Blues by two goals to one.
The upcoming game will be our third Community Shield meeting with City – we won both of the previous two contests, in 1956 and 2011.
The match will be televised live in the UK via ITV 1, ITVX, STV and STV Player, and comprehensive radio coverage will be offered by BBC Radio 5 Live, BBC Radio Manchester, BBC World Service, TalkSPORT and TalkSPORT International.
