Community Shield Final 2024 Preview

The last encounter between the two teams saw Manchester United secure a narrow 2-1 victory over Manchester City in the 2024 FA Cup final. First-half goals from Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo gave United the lead, with Jeremy Doku pulling one back for City in the 87th minute.

City’s pre-season included one win out of four matches, but they ended the previous competitive season with seven consecutive wins to clinch the Premier League title. Despite their dominance, City has not lifted the Community Shield in the past five years.

United’s pre-season was marginally better, with two wins out of five games, including a notable 3-2 victory over Real Betis. They ended last season positively with a cup final win, marking their fourth domestic win in seven games, although they finished eighth in the Premier League, their worst finish in history. Their last league victory over City was a 2-1 win at Old Trafford, with goals from Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford.
