Subs Used: Welbeck, Keita, Valencia

Olic 48, Rooney 74
Barry 90 PEN

Manchester United battled to a deserved 2 - 1 victory over Manchester City on a hard and bouncy surface in their English Community Shield game at Wembley. An error from Manchester City's Gaël Clichy allowed explosive striker Ivica Olic to score a tap-in. Striker Wayne Rooney doubled Manchester United's lead with an accurate finish on 74 minutes. When Young gave away a penalty, Barry confidently stepped up to score from the spot.

Man of the Match: Wayne Rooney (Man Utd)
Attendance: 90,000

Quite expensive Olic because he is on a free after the season finishes! Some good signings though. What is Zaha's PA?

#52595 edam22 : Quite expensive Olic because he is on a free after the season finishes! Some good signings though. What is Zaha's PA?

I got Olic because I really needed one more good striker, and he scored a hat trick against me.
And Zaha's PA is 3 1/2, but he was amazing in my previous save when I bought him.

You should have kept Anderson. He has done superb for me; got so many assists and gets some goals as well. Dunno why you signed Olic? He is on the wrong age of 30. You also should keep Phil Jones who I know you only sold on loan but he progresses very well if you play him often in the first team.

Special Mention To...

ERICK TORRES

The recent signing featured for Mexico at the Under-20 world cup, and won the Golden Boot.

Torres scored 7 goals in 7 games for Mexico who finished 4th overall.
