The match was contested by 2015–16 FA Cup winners Manchester United, and Leicester City, champions of the 2015–16 Premier League. It was held at Wembley Stadium a week before the Premier League season kicked off. Manchester United won the match 2–1 with goals from Jesse Lingard and Zlatan Ibrahimović, either side of a goal from Leicester striker Jamie Vardy. Arsenal were the holders, having won the 2015 edition, but did not qualify for this match, as they finished second in the Premier League and got knocked out of the FA Cup in the sixth round. Background Leicester City qualified as champions of the 2015–16 Premier League. They won the title after then-second place Tottenham Hotspur drew 2–2 to Chelsea in Stamford Bridge on 2 May 2016. It was only their second FA Charity/Community Shield, first since 1971, when they defeated Liverpool 1–0. It was also the first time they played as champions/runners–up of either top division league or FA Cup winners, as they played in 1971 as Second Division champions. Manchester United qualified as winners of the 2015–16 FA Cup. They defeated Crystal Palace 2–1 after extra time on 21 May 2016 to win their 12th title (tying the then-record with Arsenal). It was their 30th FA Charity/Community Shield, winning a record 20. The previous match between the two sides was a 1–1 draw at Old Trafford on 1 May 2016. Anthony Martial scored for United in the eighth minute, while Leicester captain Wes Morgan equalised nine minutes later. Manchester United manager José Mourinho returned to the Community Shield for the second straight year, after managing for Chelsea in the 2015 FA Community Shield.https://www.theguardian.com/football/live/2016/aug/07/leicester-city-v-manchester-united-community-shield-live Leicester 1 Man Utd 2 7 August 2016 Guardian 9 August 2016 Match Summary Jesse Lingard opened the scoring in the 32nd minute when he ran and got past three Leicester players before shooting low with his right foot past the onrushing Leicester goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel who managed to get something on the shot but could not prevent it going into the net. http://www.the42.ie/leicester-city-manchester-united-live-2914735-Aug2016/ Community Shield: Leicester City 1 Manchester United 2 as it happened 7 August 2016 The 42 23 February 2017 Jamie Vardy made it 1–1 in the 52nd minute when he intercepted Marouane Fellaini's no-look back-pass before rounding David de Gea and slotting the ball low to the net with his left foot.https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2016/08/07/manchester-united-vs-leicester-city-community-shield-live-score/ Community Shield: Leicester City 1 Manchester United 2 - Zlatan Ibrahimovic late header wins United's 21st Shield 7 August 2016 Telegraph 23 February 2017 Zlatan Ibrahimović got the winning goal for Manchester United in the 83rd minute when he got above Leicester captain Wes Morgan and headed in from six yards out into the right corner off the post after a cross from the right by Antonio Valencia.https://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/aug/07/leicester-city-manchester-united-community-shield-match-report Community Shield: Manchester United beat Leicester with Ibrahimovic header 7 August 2016 Guardian 23 February 2017 Details 2016 8 7 y 16:00 BST Leicester City 1–2 https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/36934956 Manchester United Vardy 52 Lingard 32Ibrahimović 83 Wembley Stadium, London 85,437 Craig Pawson (South Yorkshire)Nicholas Veevers Craig Pawson to take charge of the FA Community Shield http://www.thefa.com/news/competitions/fa-community-shield/2016/jul/craig-pawson-to-referee-fa-community-shield-070716 TheFA.com The Football Association 7 July 2016 3 August 2016 _leicester1617H _leicester1617H _leicester1617H _leicester1617H 0000FF 0000FF 0000FF 0000FF 0000FF Leicester City _manutdh2016 _manutdh2016 _manutdh2016 _adidas_red _manutdh2016 E20E0E E20E0E E20E0E FFFFFF 000000 Manchester United GK 1 DEN Kasper SchmeichelRB 17ENG Danny Simpson 40 63CB 6 GER Robert Huth 89CB 5 JAM Wes Morgan (c)LB 28AUT Christian Fuchs 80RM 26ALG Riyad MahrezCM 10WAL Andy King 55 62CM 4 ENG Danny DrinkwaterLM 11ENG Marc Albrighton 46CF 20JPN Shinji Okazaki 46CF 9 ENG Jamie Vardy 75Substitutes:GK 21GER Ron-Robert ZielerDF 2 ESP Luis Hernández 63DF 15GHA Jeffrey Schlupp 80MF 22ENG Demarai Gray 46MF 24FRA 1974 Nampalys Mendy 62FW 7 NGA Ahmed Musa 46FW 23ARG Leonardo Ulloa 89Manager:ITA Claudio Ranieri300px GK 1 ESP David de GeaRB 25ECU Antonio ValenciaCB 3 CIV Eric Bailly 71CB 17NED Daley BlindLB 23ENG Luke Shaw 69CM 16ENG Michael Carrick 61CM 27BEL Marouane FellainiRW 14ENG Jesse Lingard 63AM 10ENG Wayne Rooney (c) 87LW 11FRA 1974 Anthony Martial 70CF 9 SWE Zlatan IbrahimovićSubstitutes:GK 20ARG Sergio RomeroDF 5 ARG Marcos Rojo 69MF 8 ESP Juan Mata 63 90+3MF 21ESP Ander Herrera 61MF 22ARM Henrikh Mkhitaryan 90+3MF 28FRA 1974 Morgan Schneiderlin 87FW 19ENG Marcus Rashford 70Manager:POR José Mourinho Man of the Match: Eric Bailly (Manchester United) Assistant referees: Stephen Child (Kent) Lee Betts (Norfolk) Fourth official: Bobby Madley (West Yorkshire)Match rules 90 minutes.
