He will play a part on Sunday against Chelsea, it's a competitive match but not that important (not compared to a league match anyway). Perfect to test him out and see what he's really made of in English football.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.

No. He got injured last october and has not played since.
Branislav Ivanović made team of the season, he'd normally play there at rightback if either Carvalho or Alex were fit to play alongside Terry unless Bosignwa was fit to play there perhaps, with Ivanovic inside Ferriera is the obvious option to play rightback here. Would've thought Youssi or Zhirkov could've been a contender for a start here, but I suppose Kalou perhaps needs the game more.
Yeah, okay, think his recovery was delayed by surgery in March, funny they delayed it that long.
No. Sky Sports 1 live. Highlights are on ITV 1 10:15pm.
Fair dos. Some of the positions have been changed, but I'd say that 8 of the players were first choicers last season. And Ivanovic was originally a centre back. With Bosingwa returning this season, there's a good chance that Ivanovic will be competing for a central defensive berth. I don't much rate Alex and Carvalho isn't the player he was. Good chance they'll go Terry-Ivanovic in a lot of games this season.
Djemba-Djemba had a great Community Sheild game against Arsenal.
What was your point?
If Ivanovic were to hold down the centreback role, then who would play rightback in Bosignwa's absence if Ferreria were injured too ... Essien?

You're getting tiresome mate.
I'm a proponent of playing your best players in their best positions. Sincerest apologies if this revelation irritates you.
Did Goggs play in this 'Sheild'?
The result doesn't really bother me, for me this signifies the start of football again this season and thus I am excited !
Who's with me !?

Yep, its good to know that the proper football is getting underway again.
Rooney and Owen to both play 45 minutes in this according to SSN, sorry if its been posted.
Fabio and Rafael both "doubtful" for the game according to SSN. They've both had food poisoning.
Shame for Fabio, with Evra a few weeks away he could have got a game.

fergie said that after the airtricity game
not match fit yet
valencia has trained more so he is ready
What channel is it on in the UK? Please tell me it's not sky.
It's Sky
The community shield game has been on Sky Sports for as long as I can remember.
Didn't it used to be on ITV before Sky signed it up?

I think it did Plan M, but while Setanta was operating they had it for 08/09 when we played Portsmouth.
Also, on the injury/absence front, the Da Silvas both took part in open training today, as did Michael Carrick and Patrice Evra although we know pretty much for sure he won't feature tomorrow.
Training squad: van der Sar, Kuszczak; Neville, Evra, Brown, Smalling, Vidic, Fabio, Rafael, O'Shea, J Evans; Giggs, Park, Carrick, Nani, Scholes, Fletcher, Valencia, Gibson, Cleverley; Owen, Berbatov, Rooney, Hernandez, Macheda

Just sat and watched the 2008 CL final on MUTV. What memories I have to say.
I know tomorrow obviously isn't as important but it is against the Chelsea rent boys. After watching that just now, it's put me right in the mood for tomorrow and the new season ahead.
Let's start the season tomorrow by smashing the cnuts. COME ON UNITED

It will be on FSC at 10am EST.
It's on Sony PIX and not ESPN for all you Indians in attendance.
be sure to lob a tomato in the glazers' direction while you're there!
I always wish the game was played with more hunger to win. I never like to see lame games, with players playing hancey fancey football. Yes, players don't want to get injured. But it's a trophy and they should want to win it nonetheless.
not that desperate for that shield trophy, more like revenge from missing out on the title to them by a single point.
Really looking forward to this one, any news on the Da Silvas?

I'm hoping Hernandez and Cleverly get on torrow, I expect we'll see Rooney for a half and Berbatov for a half.
The depression cloud has already started to subside Chutney. Im anxious for the feeling of footy and the feeling of self to be instilled again.
Come on United !

we got this
Beat us in a friendly. That'll teach us!
