Yeah right. It's only an unimportant trophy when you lose it, but when you win it, everyone's happy about it.

You can want to win it while it still being unimportant. I always want City to win but I don't really care if they lose this. I'd care if they didn't win the league. Don't care about the CL but I'd like them to win it.

[@Robwilli]

I’m not a Man United fan, but I do know and respect the club’s history, Man United are a big club and they have to act, think and deliver as such. Glorified friendly or not, against their City rivals, Man United is obligated to WIN. You see a friendly USA tour match like El Clásico and you’ll see Real Madrid and Barcelona going at it like if it was a UCL final…that’s the attitude of big clubs. Man United and also Man City are obligated to win the community shield, with their starter players or not, they have to win, no other option.

[@eddiebitar8421]

The dream for United is to sell Wan Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, and Shaw while bringing in Mazraoui, De Ligt, Ugarte, and Hermoso. Make it happen!

The Fa cup winner plays the league winner which is also a derby match and could be a revenge match city for literally lose the final to man utd most of the top players are either injured or wouldn’t be back yet from the euros so this is already not their best team regardless of what you think of the title this will show when the chips are down who you can count on or even say set the tempo for the league matches around the corner it will be interesting to see

[@ktom5262]

Shaka being ignorant here. Carabao Cup is less prestigious than the EPL or FA Cup but it's still important and not easy to win. I could bet my bottom money that Shaka would be delighted if his West Ham won it one day. To say the Community Shield one off, pre-season game is "just below" a proper cup competition like Carabao Cup is ridiculous and very ignorant.

[@craigmoorebrightsparkprodu799]

Of course it's important. Maybe not to win, but to play well and show that there's a bit of enthusiasm and vibrancy for the season ahead. It would be one thing to not win, it would be horrendous to get overrun, especially at Wembley. It's also the last chance you have to learn things about your squad before the first game of the season.

[@vidalgutierrez1736]

that's dumb, they already have half their squad - and are yet to make their last signings. it only matters to emotional smooth brains like you.

Why should Pep leave?

[@darthvader1402]

While this game is not critical to either team, as it is a Manchester Derby, both teams will want to win it. But Pep has won the lot so it is no bother to him, and Erik is more focused on the start of the league the following Friday. So it will be a fun watch but really does not matter who wins. As a fan I want our team to win. But if we lose I would not be upset. Come of United.
