Manchester United has gotten off to a strong start in the new English Premier League season by beating rival Chelsea, 3-1, in the FA Community Shield at London’s Wembley Stadium Sunday.

United will open the regular season against Newcastle Monday next week.

The Community Shield is considered the official start of the season by pitting the league champion against the FA Cup winner. Chelsea claimed both the league and cup crowns last season, while United finished runner-up.

Korean midfielder Park Ji-sung started as a side striker. He played the first half before being replaced by Luis Nani.

This season is Park’s sixth year in the Premiership. He did not suffer a major injury last season but failed to show notable performances, starting just 10 of 38 games. He scored three goals in 17 matches, including those in which he came in as a substitute.

Park is pumped to do better this season following his stellar play at the South Africa World Cup, but must compete for a starting spot with Nani, Antonio Valencia and Gabriel Obertan.

KBS color commentator Han Joon-hee said, “Manchester players are not as good as they were when the team had Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez. Since United failed to win the regular season title last season, it cannot afford to give sluggish players the chance to play.”

The Football Association Community Shield (formerly the Charity Shield) is a one-off annual English club association football match contested between the Premier League Champions and the FA Cup winners at the national football stadium, Wembley Stadium in London. It is played as a season opening game between the previous season's league/cup winners (or the league runners up if the league champions won The Double of league and cup).The winners of the game receive the Shield as a trophy for the year, while players also receive individual winners medals. The current holders are Manchester United, who beat the 2009–10 season Double winners Chelsea 3–1 in normal time in the 2010 Community Shield held on 8 August 2010.

Organised by the Football Association, proceeds from the game are distributed to community-based initiatives and charities around the country. Revenue from the gate receipts and match programme sales is distributed to the 124 clubs who competed in The FA Cup from the First Round onwards, for onward distribution to charities and projects of their choice, while the remainder is distributed to the FA's national charity partners. The fixture is seen as a relatively minor honour and is treated almost as a pre-season friendly by many fans and clubs, used as a barometer of fitness levels and team tactics for the coming season. There is no extra time in the game, with draws after 90 minutes settled by penalty shootout; teams are allowed to use six substitutes instead of the normal three.

The fixture was first played in the 1908–09 season, replacing Sheriff of London Charity Shield. The game was initially played at various grounds in various teams, generally settling on the league champion versus FA Cup winner format from 1930, becoming a season opening game from 1954. The present format of a Wembley-based game between the league champions and FA Cup winners, or league runners-up, dates from 1974, being played at the current Wembley stadium since 2007. While the old Wembley Stadium was being demolished and rebuilt, the game was held at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales.
