v

The FA Community Shield sponsored by McDonald's

2pm, Sunday 11 August 2013
Wembley Stadium

Referee: Mark Clattenburg

ITV from 1:30pm to 4:15pm

New Manchester United manager David Moyes will be the centre of attention as he steps into Sir Alex Ferguson's shoes for the traditional game between last season's Premier League champions and FA Cup winners at Wembley. Moyes will be expected to win his first piece of silverware in his first major game as United boss. Wigan are also under new management - Owen Coyle having succeeded their FA Cup-winning manager Roberto Martinez. Following Wigan's relegation from the Premier League, it will be the first time since 1980 that a team outside the top flight has featured in the Community Shield.

Have faith...

I have faith, I just don't believe in miracles.

 

[Purdy]

This'll be boring.

This'll be boring.

It probably will be but then we all get a real good look at Moyes and how he manages Utd.

Wouldnt be surprised if Wigan pull off a shocker and nab the Community shield...would be absolutely hilarious

 

[CliffyG]

I would approve of a Wigan win!

Wigan will get first goal but then United will come back to win 2-1 in 2nd half. Kagawa and Anderson scoring.

 

[Robert1986]

3-0 UTD.

Zaha hat trick.

It will be interesting to see how Manchester United line up under Moyes in a competitive game, even against lower league opposition.

I'm just waiting Dave '****' Whelan to start talking about breaking his leg in a cup final .

I think we will still see squad rotation for fitness, he has hinted at this heavily already.

I don't think it's going to be a game to judge us nor the manager on, but I spec it'll get people up in arms at least.

He was on SSN and in the background he had the FA Cup on display or the plate that the team gets when they win it. Funny guy and owner i have admit, such a media whore he is.

I imagine the running man will be one of those

Wigan may beat United actually, they did beat City.

 

[Lord-Jaffa]

Not much confidence going into this new season, 0-0 then shoot out I think.

 

[The Running Man]

Well today's the big day. Let's set the tone for the season and start with a cracker!

 

[Deleted member 651465]

Wigan 1-0

 

[NeedAUsername]

Don't think Wigan without Martinez can outplay a big team.

 

[Bucket]

Nani, Rooney & Young not travelling.

I await to see the team before I stick out a prediction, but I think there's a little part of it that will still be used 'for fitness' so games might be spread about...
