Manchester United win the first piece of silverware of the 2016/17 season after beating Leicester City to capture the Community Shield in front of a packed crowd at Wembley Stadium.

It’s the Community Shield, the dress rehearsal for the new Premier League season.

Manchester United has learned the script word for word. They have competed for this piece of silverware on a record 30 occasions, winning it 21 times. Only things are different this year. The boys in red have to learn a new script. So often cast in the role of Champions, they will begin as the FA Cup holders and Leicester City, who had never played at the modernised Wembley Stadium, would take the starring role.

The Earth still hasn’t stopped shaking as a result of Leicester City’s 5,000-1 Premier League title triumph. It’s broadly accepted worldwide as the greatest sporting upset since we emerged from the primordial soup.
