Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the Community Shied – expect today's contest to be anything but a 'friendly'

The final word goes to our man at the ground Alex Chick: "All over. United win a cracking game. Astonishing blunder by Kompany, who was so reliable last season... Not often you can call a Community Shield a 'famous win' but this certainly seems to fit the bill. Grown men in tears!"

IT'S ALL OVER - UNITED WIN 3-2! What a match it has been, and Manchester United beat Manchester City 3-2 after having recovered from two goals down to win the Community Shield in dramatic fashion! Nani's late goal clinched victory for Sir Alex Ferguson's side! Thanks for your company and check out the match report for all the details...

GOAL!!!!! UNITED NET WHAT SURELY IS THE WINNER! De Gea launches a long ball upfield and Kompany is horribly caught out as the ball bounces beyond him, and Nani races on to round Hart and slide the ball into an empty net!

Silva whips over a very fine delivery, but Dzeko is unable to convert it with a header inside the box.

Rooney continues to charge about tirelessly, and it takes a superb challenge from Kompany to deny the forward as he flies forward once more.

Dimitar Berbatov comes on to replace Welbeck, who departs walking very gingerly and to a very fine ovation. He's given everything today! Another United break ends with Cleverley driving a shot over the bar - both sides still throwing players forward. There will be four added minutes...

Silva produces another lung-busting run down the left as he continues to show terrific fitness at this stage in the match.

Silva whips over a testing delivery from the left which Richards meets with a powerful header - De Gea tips the ball over superbly, but it was a free-kick against the defender nonetheless.

Now Dimitar Berbatov is warming up on the touchline, and he looks set to come on very shortly.

Young whips over a testing delivery from a corner out on the left, which Hart punches to safety. City bide their time and build patiently from the back.

Rafael continues to receive the ball out on the left and charge at Richards at pace, but again the Englishman stands firm to repel the danger.

City enjoy a good spell of sustained pressure in the United half with Clichy and Silva at the forefront, before Yaya Toure lashes a wild shot over the crossbar!

Nani hurtles down the right flank at pace, but cannot get the required delivery into the box with a group of players waiting expectantly.

Hart lumps a long ball upfield towards Toure, and even Dzeko cannot latch on to it as Rafael sweeps up superbly.

De Gea distributes the ball very effectively once more as he releases Rafael down the left, but he is eventually shrugged off the ball by Richards.

Our man Alex Chick from Wembley: "You'd think Mancini would at least have the good grace to give Aguero a run out. Some people. Tsk..."

Cleverley continues to look very impressive as he jinks past Toure and fires a low shot on target which Hart parries away to safety!

Nani combines with Smalling, who again makes good ground from the right, but Richards clears away from the six-yard box!

Jones makes a strong challenge on De Jong in midfield, and City are being put under an immense amount of pressure now.

Clichy surges down the left at pace, before Johnson unleashes a fierce strike from outside the United box to bring a fine save from De Gea at his near post!
