Manchester United will play for their first piece of silverware this season in the FA Community Shield against Premier League Champions Leicester City. This will give Jose Mourinho a final chance to view his players in a competitive match before the start of the season, and here is his lineup for the match.

There are a few changes in this lineup compared to our Predicted XI article from earlier today.

Daley Blind will be starting in place of Chris Smalling, who is not fit for this match. Blind along with Marouane Fellaini and Jesse Lingard have all been rumored to be sold by Mourinho, so the starts for these players could be their last opportunity to show the new boss what they can offer to this side.

Lingard scored the goal that got United into this Community Shield match with his winner against Crystal Palace in the FA Cup Final last season.

New signing Mkhitaryan will most likely get some minutes off of the bench, while the rest of the lineup is basically as expected.

Look for Zlatan Ibrahimovic to make his competitive debut a memorable one while Wayne Rooney will attempt to shrug off some of the criticism around him lately and lift yet another trophy with Manchester United.
