Manchester United take on Wigan at Wembley Stadium on Sunday in the Community Shield.
Team News
Manchester United are likely to be without Wayne Rooney for Sunday's Premier League curtain-raiser against Wigan Athletic in the Community Shield. The 27-year-old has missed the majority of the champion's pre-season campaign and did not feature in Rio Ferdinand's testimonial against Sevilla on Friday. Javier Hernandez is expected to take his place, while new signing Wilfried Zaha will likely get a run-out. Defender Jonny Evans and winger Nani are expected to miss out after limping off against AIK Solna on Tuesday, while midfielder Darren Fletcher is continuing his recovery from a serious bowel condition. Wigan could hand a debut to new signing James McClean, who has become the Latic's 10th summer signing after joining from Sunderland. However, fellow new signing Thomas Rogne is out with a back problem, though Leon Barnett and Emmerson Boyce have impressed during pre-season and will likely retain their places in Owen Coyle's side. Grant Holt will lead the line for his new club after dropping down a division from Norwich, with Marc Antoine-Fortune likely to be demoted to the bench. Gary Caldwell (hip) and Ivan Ramis (knee) will be out until at least October. (
