All England is awaiting Sunday’s Community Shield at Wembley, a game spicier-than-normal facing the two teams for which a city is too small.

The long awaited game will also provids the opportunity to avenge last season’s FA Cup semi-final defeat by Roberto Mancini‘s crew, which opened up the path towards an end to the Blues’ 35-year trophy drought. Manchester United on the other hand is very optimistic. Their primer striker, Rooney said:

“You couldn’t get better motivation to start the season with a bang. I hadn’t even thought about it until I turned on the TV and someone was talking about potentially the best Community Shield ever. Playing City is the best way to start.”

Although the FA Cup semi-final was a disappointing day for United, the Red Devils will never forget Rooney‘s sensational winner in the Old Trafford league meeting between the two sides a couple of months earlier.

A game like this will be a high-intensity on the fact that both teams are old rivals and from the same city. The supporters will play an important part in the play and they could be an important factor in winning the game with their psychic.

It is tours time now for every team, more likely a trip in different corners of the world to display new acquisitions, the outfit for next season and to test the level of stamina of the players. Premier League champions, Manchester United, chose United States as a perfect destination.

Rooney played the first 45 minutes of United’s opening United States tour match against New England Revolution. The 4-1 victory shows that the players are in the best shape but this win cannot be used as a guide for what is to come.

Rooney said: “We have to draw a line under what happened on Wembley, have to look forward, not back. We need to look at the trophies we will be competing for and hopefully by the end of next season, we will have some silverware.”

The next season look like a little battle between Manchester strikers. Ferguson has a lot of options starting with Rooney, Michael Owen, Federico Macheda and not forget Dimitar Berbatov and Javier Fernandez. Not being afraid of the competition, Rooney sees in this a positive thing:
“Competition is good. It keeps everyone on their toes. It is exciting to have so many strikers. It means everyone will have to be on top of their game to keep their place in the team.”

With all those very valuable players can bring the title home again this year? Everything shows that it will be a disputed season of Barclays Premier League.
