United win Community Shield

Manchester United might have claimed psychological points over Chelsea at the curtain-raiser at Wembley Sunday afternoon but no doubt, both managers were looking to conserve players' energy as the EPL season kicks off next weekend.

Giggs' opener was equalised by new Blues signing, Malouda with a brilliant solo effort following a long pass from Ashley Cole.

With the match tied at 1-1 at fulltime, sudden death took place. United shotstopper, Van der Sar saved 3 penalties and United converted the same number to down the FA cup winners.

Ferguson opted to start without any of his new signings though there was a brief late entry for Portugal star, Nani.
