In terms of prestige it doesn't carry much weight, but it's still a title + a derby + City are certainly pissed off that United beat them at the end of last season. I think both clubs will have enough motivation to not consider this game random, which means the favorite should win. The fact that on paper City is much stronger than United seems indisputable to me.
Manchester United is getting ready for the match against Manchester City in the Community Shield. Ten Hag started talking about the Community Shield and he said, they will win the game against Manchester City and it seems Manchester United has hope for beating Manchester City. However, some players are not in good form in Manchester City like Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Luke Shaw, and Maguire. That's why there is a chance for these players to be absent in the game they have against Mcnashyter City in the Community Shield.
Indeed, Ten Hag looks quite optimistic to be able to get win in this match and he looks very enthusiastic in trying to beat Manchester City even though we all know that Manchester United performance can't actually surpass Manchester City.
But there is indeed chance for them to win the match, just like when they were in the FA Cup final where Manchester City didn't seem to play optimally and didn't look like team that was trying to get win because the FA Cup was not the goals for Manchester City.
In match like this for the FA Community Shield I doubt if I have to make Manchester City the favorite, maybe there will be surprise like the match in the FA Cup final.
