Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored a late winner as Manchester United defeated English champions Leicester City to win the Community Shield.
The 34-year-old Swedish striker, signed from Paris Saint-Germain on 1st July, headed the ball into the net late into the match on his Manchester United competitive debut.
Jesse Lingard put Manchester United 1-0 up before Jamie Vardy equalised for Leicester City, who are champions of England for the first time ever.
United's win means they have now lifted the Community Shield (formerly the Charity Shield) a record 21 times, whereas this was Leicester City's first appearance in it. It's also the first piece of silverware for Manchester United under their new manager - former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho.
The Community Shield is played on the Sunday before the weekend in which the Premier League season kicks off and is contested between the previous season's FA Cup winners and the previous season's Premier League winners.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic roars with delight after scoring a late winner for Manchester United in the Community Shield
Jose Mourinho began his reign as Manchester United manager with a trophy as Zlatan Ibrahimovic's late header beat Leicester City in the FA Community Shield at Wembley.
Jesse Lingard, who scored the final goal of the Louis van Gaal era with the winner in the FA Cup final against Crystal Palace, put United ahead before half-time when he ran 40 yards and beat four men to slot home.

League champions Leicester replied when Marouane Fellaini's dreadful back-pass let Jamie Vardy in to round David de Gea and score.
But summer signing Ibrahimovic typically had the final word with seven minutes to go, rising to meet Antonio Valencia's cross and beat Kasper Schmeichel via the post.
The outspoken Swede had stated beforehand that the shield would be the first trophy he would be bringing home as a United player, and so it proved for the veteran striker.

Leicester had brought Mourinho's second stint in charge of Chelsea to an end with a 2-1 defeat at King Power Stadium in December on their way to the title but this was a much happier occasion for the Portuguese.
Mourinho has even more reason to be cheerful ahead of the start of the new Premier League season next week as United announced before the game that Paul Pogba is set to have a medical before a potential return to Old Trafford for what will be a world-record fee.
