Man Utd FC
After a lackluster off-season in America, Manchester United emerged as the unfortunate side in the Community Shield, a rarity in recent Manchester Derbies.
The game featured woodwork strikes from both teams and a pivotal offside decision against United, coupled with a glaring miss by Rashford.
Garnacho’s breakthrough goal, where he skillfully cut in from the right to beat a notably outclassed Dias and Gvardiol, showcased his ability to adapt to both flanks, potentially overshadowing Antony but enhancing tactical flexibility if Sancho and Rashford continue to feature predominantly on the left.
Pellistri found himself unexpectedly cast as United’s potential hero against Bernardo Silva, yet the outcome at Wembley shouldn’t lower the expectations of United fans.
The team is poised for a stronger performance than last season’s 8th place finish, especially given the quality of the squad and effective off-season acquisitions.
Despite criticisms of nepotism concerning the signings of de Ligt and Mazraoui, reminiscent of the situations with Antony and van de Beek, these additions rejuvenate United’s defensive line.
Alongside a healthy Martinez and Leny Yoro, with support from rising talent like Harry Amass from the youth ranks, United’s defense looks promising.
Fulham FC
It’s been a subdued summer for Fulham, marked by the notable departure of key midfielder Joao Palhinha.
With Cordova-Reid absent and players like Willian seemingly on the way out, the pressure is on for Alex Iwobi and Emile Smith Rowe to step up.
Their performance will be critical in keeping Fulham competitive in the Premier League during what manager Marco Silva has described as a rebuilding season.
