Last season Ranieri's Leicester City defeated Chelsea 2 - 1 in what many claim was the match that sealed Mourinho's exit from Stamford Bridge.

According to Ranieri: "This is not a friendly. We will give the maximum and also Manchester United will too. Both teams want to win it."

Both matches between United and Leicester in the Premier League last season ended 1-1 and this is the first time Claudio Ranieri will have managed a team at Wembley Stadium.

This will be Manchester United's 30th appearance in the Community Shield. They've won the trophy on 20 previous occasions, a record figure.
