CS: Manchester United v Wigan Match Thread

Kick-off
2pm: ITV1 - Live coverage at 1:30pm

A new season, a new era, a new Manchester United manager
The last time the Old Trafford boys went into a game with anyone other than Sir Alex Ferguson in charge, Top Gun was the number one film to watch at the cinema, Nick Berry was topping the charts with 'Every loser wins' and David Moyes was turning out for Bristol City in England's third division. David de Gea, Jonny Evans, Phil Jones and Tom Cleverley hadn't even been born.


Statistics
This year's Community Shield game will be first time a club outside the top division features in the fixture since West Ham United in 1980.

Wigan Athletic have beaten Manchester United only once in 17 attempts (in all competitions); losing the other 16.

Eric Cantona is the last player to score a hat-trick in the Charity/Community Shield. The Frenchman netted a treble for Leeds in a 4-3 victory over Liverpool in 1992/93.


Team Sheet
Man Utd: De Gea, Rafael, Vidic, Jones, Evra, Zaha, Carrick, Cleverley, Giggs, Van Persie and Welbeck

Looking at Anderson, the Community Shield is not the only one sponsored by McDonald’s. Good player but needs to shape up
