Man City vs Manchester United live Community Shield updates, team news and how to watch

Manchester United and Manchester City will meet at Wembley in the Community Shield today.

City became the first team to win four consecutive Premier League titles last season and United won the FA Cup, which means both sides will compete for the Community Shield. United went into the cup final with underdog status, but goals from Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo in the first half were enough to seal a 2-1 victory.

City are also missing key players as their representatives in the Euro 2024 final, the likes of Rodri, Phil Foden, John Stones and Kyle Walker, are yet to return to Manchester.
