Manchester United transfer news live Youssouf Fofana 'talks', De Ligt updates and Berge latest

Manchester United will be targeting a second trophy of 2024 when they face Manchester City in Saturday's Community Shield clash at Wembley.

The Reds booked a second Wembley date of the year with their cross-city rivals after beating them 2-1 in May's FA Cup final. Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo netted in the first half to secure a second trophy in as many seasons under Erik ten Hag.
