Jose Mourinho won his silverware as manager of Manchester United as the Red Devils defeated Leicester City in the Charity Shield.
Jesse Lingard puts United ahead after an amazing run. Last season top scorer Jamie Vardy equaliser for the champions. It was then left to new signing, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, to his first competitive and winning goal for the Red Devils.
According to statistic from WhoScored.com, both teams had 9 shots but Manchester United had 6 on target against 2 from Leicester City. The pass successful rate was 82% and 75% respectively.
From a statistic point of view, Manchester United does deserve to win the match.
While it is always good to win some silverware, the Charity Shield win does not prove anything. But it will give the winner a boost when the season begins in a week time.
