Manchester United kicked-off the new season in style as a 3-1 win secured the 2010 Community Shield sits in the Old Trafford trophy cabinet. 84,623 witnessed an entertaining contest as goals from Antonio Valencia, debutant Javier Hernandez and Dimitar Berbatov sealed another honour for Sir Alex Ferguson.
Sporting their smart new strip, United kicked-off the new campaign with an impressive win over reigning Premier League champions Chelsea.
Paul Scholes silenced critics with an excellent display in midfield as United delivered a statement of intent to Carlo Ancelotti's West London side.
Popular summer signing Javier Hernandez marked his senior debut with a fortunate goal. Antonio Valencia, who had bagged the game's opener, saw his cross slam into the Mexican's face and into the back of the net!
Salomon Kalou's strike threatened a late Chelsea comeback, but Dimitar Berbatov's late lob ensured an impressive win for the Red Devils.
The result will have given Ferguson's Reds a real confidence boost ahead of the Premier League opener against the newly-promoted Barcodes next Monday evening.
