Shaw: Community Shield can ‘kick-start season’

Ibrahimovic (34) said: “It is my 31st trophy and I’m super happy”. I experienced a bunch of players just as hungry as last season.

The former Paris Saint-Germain man also scored on his unofficial debut against Turkish side Galatasaray in his native Sweden last month as the Reds ran out 5-2 victors in Gothenburg.

United’s first game of the season is at Bournemouth on Sunday. “This year, teams will look and fear Man United”.

Mourinho explained afterwards that he had felt compelled to withdraw the diminutive Mata, with Leicester set to pepper the United box with long balls in the search for an equaliser.

After winning the FA Cup and now the Community Shield, United defender Daley Blind, who played the full 90 minutes in both games, says United are hungry for more silverware. Jamie Vardy continued his impressive goal-scoring exploits from last term as he capitalised on a weak back-pass from Marouane Fellaini to round De Gea and slot into an empty net.

“My individual performances will come”, he said to MUTV. We’re in the beginning and building up my physique, my conditioning, and I am yet to know the team-mates.

Although clearly disgruntled by the decision, Mata, who scored United’s equaliser in May’s FA Cup final, posted a tweet on Sunday night which suggested he was feeling better.

“When all these things are settled, things grow easily”. After we conceded the second goal, then we still had a very good chance just before the end of the game. “I hope we can play well and get the win”. “That is new and we won today and hopefully we can win more”.

“And we got them all before the start of the Premier League, when the transfer window only closes at the end of the month and it becomes normal, nearly a tradition, that people delay and delay and delay”.
