1700: That's it from me for now folks. Gracias for your company this weekend. Much for ultra-defensive City to ponder. United will have Chelsea et al checking down the back of the sofa for some extra pennies. Cardiff are off to a flyer. Sam Allardyce's West Ham will be flat as a diet pancake. The 2011/2012 season is here. See you soon.

Neelam Khan on Twitter: "If Wesley Sneijder was watching, why wouldn't you want to be a part of such a magnificent young team!"
1650: That second goal from United was sublime. Could watch that until I've got cows sitting in my kitchen i.e. they come home.
Sir Alex Ferguson tells Sky Sports: "Credit to the players, they kept their heads. We were always going to make those substitutions. It's difficult to say [whether De Gea should have done better for the second goal]. We have got a really good squad. They have courage to keep the ball and are not intimidated by rough tackling."

Alan in Birmingham texts on 81111: "So, a new look Man Utd - and a 94th-minute winner. The more things change, the more they stay the same."
1641: Not a wrinkle in sight as Nemanja Vidic proudly hoists the Community Shield aloft as his pals roar themselves hoarse. Average age of their second-half side was just over 22 years of age.
BBC Radio 5 live
Tom Cleverley tells BBC Radio 5 live: "It's brilliant. Even sweeter in a Manchester derby. It's a big game for us, and to show we can win with a young team is very good for the club."
BBC Sport's Chris Bevan at Wembley: "To concede so late on is cruel on City, but United deserve their win for their attitude and attacking play in the second half, demonstrating again why they are the defending champions. Nani's winner owed a lot to City's ineptitude but his first came after a move of the highest quality."
BBC Radio 5 live
Wayne Rooney tells BBC Radio 5 live: "This shows who the best team is. All game we dominated. The difference the young lads made was outstanding. We never know when a game is finished, we took them apart. The scoreline is deserved. We're champions and we're the team to beat. We want to prove that."
Full time
FULL-TIME - MAN CITY 2-3 MAN UNITED
Nani goal: From a weak attacking corner from City, Rooney hoofs clear upfield. Last man Kompany is too casual and Nani picks his hesitiant pocket to race clear before, cool as ice, side-stepping Joe Hart to slot into an empty net. Another late winner for United against City. Outstanding 45 mins from the delirious Red lot.
Goooooooaaaaaaaaal
GOAL! MAN CITY 2-3 MAN UNITED (Nani, 94 mins)
1625: "Tom Cleverley has learnt an awful lot from going out on loan," says Steve Claridge on BBC Radio 5 live. "This boy looks like a different kettle of fish to your Obertans..."

1621: Oi brain! I obviously meant Ashley Young is the oldest Manchester United player on the pitch. Chris Smalling impressing at right-back. Sets up Nani cleverly. But his shot is blocked as Cleverley shanks over. Four minutes of injury time. Berbatov replaced Welbeck.
1619: Sun scorching half the pitch. Calm before the storm, either way. Late winner or penalty shoot-out. Kompany clears from underneath his cross-bar. Real solid citizen that man. Here's Berba?
1615: Fiery Italian striker Balotelli came back to sit on the bench and support his team-mates, I'm told. Good to hear. Can you believe that Ashley Young is the oldest United player on the pitch now? He's 26. Lord. Fergie loves building more than King Henry VIII...

Anonymous texts on 81111: "How important could Tom Cleverley be this season if we don't get Sneijder? Big impact today."
1612: Great stop (and marginal atonement) from De Gea, batting away a stinging drive from City substitute Adam Johnson. Not for me to say, but how on earth does he not make City's starting XI? Always a threat. More than 77,000 at Wembley. Not bad.
1608: Phenomenal attitude from Manchester United's Patrice Evra, who is livid and baffled and furious that he is being replaced in this pre-season picnic by Rafael. That is what sport is all about. Another French full-back, City's Gael Clichy, replaces Kolarov.
Twitter
Jon Tattz on Twitter: "Seems to me that Manchester United have learnt the lesson given them by Barcelona in champs league. Tiki-taka."
1602: Penalty shoot-out if it stays like this. Rooney wriggling free but great tackle from Lescott, a la Bobby Moore in Mexico circa 1970, to successfully police his England colleague. United almost rampant.
BBC Sport's Chris Bevan at Wembley: "Most of United's fans were still on their feet from celebrating Chris Smalling's goal when Nani put them level by finishing off a stunning passing move. By the looks of things, those two City goals before the break only succeeded in making Sir Alex Ferguson's men angry."
1557: Mario Balotelli has gone off down the tunnel. Not a good day. I worry about him sometimes. Gareth Barry trots on. Well. Kolarov has been booked. Five City players on yellow, seven in total.
Nani goal: Breathtaking. Delicious inter-play as Nani dinks a high finish past prone Joe Hart after Rooney's vision then Cleverley's touch set him free to almost round the City keeper. So good. United players go mad. "Like watching Brazil," chirrup some fellas near me.
Goooooooaaaaaaaaal
GOAL! MANCHESTER CITY 2-2 MANCHESTER UNITED (Nani, 52 mins)
1550: Young then wastes direct free-kick, pushing the ball into the wall before hacking a loose shot into nothingness...
Smalling goal: Whipped in-swinging free-kick from Ashley Young, right down the throat of Manchester City's busy penalty area, and Edin Dzeko goes on holiday to leave Chris Smalling free to cushion a close-range volley past Joe Hart. Simple. Effective. Contest is on.
Goooooooaaaaaaaaal
GOAL! MANCHESTER CITY 2-1 MANCHESTER UNITED (Smalling, 52 mins)
1543: Cleverley imposing himself on the game intelligently. Bright start for this youthful United team. Performance more important than result now? City muscular and determined. Silva their flair, and flare.
Whistle
1538: Take That but a distant memory, no? Second half back under way. Maybe Fergie's blaming his ridiculously experienced centre-half pairing for those goals...
1536: Vidic, Ferdinand, Carrick off. Tom Cleverley, Phil Jones, and Jonny Evans all coming on for United...

Jim in Hants says: "You're blaming De Gea for both goals without a word of criticism for Ferdinand or Vidic, whose marking was awful twice and let Dzeko shoot!"
1532: Wanted to remind you of the starting line-ups for this match. We dissected them, but didn't lay them down fully on the table...
Man City: Hart, Richards, Kompany, Lescott, Kolarov, De Jong, Toure Yaya, Silva, Milner, Balotelli, Dzeko. Subs: Taylor, Wright-Phillips, Adam Johnson, Savic, Aguero, Barry, Clichy.
Man Utd: De Gea, Smalling, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra, Nani, Carrick, Anderson, Young, Rooney, Welbeck. Subs: Lindegaard, Jones, Berbatov, Park, Rafael Da Silva, Evans, Cleverley.
Half-time snapshot from BBC Sport's Chris Bevan at Wembley: "Fair to say that, a few minutes ago, most of Wembley did not foresee City going in with a 2-0 lead. Dzeko has obviously dug out his long-lost shooting boots for the new season but David De Gea probably won't enjoy watching replays of his second goal."
BBC Radio 5 Live
1525: "That was a regulation save. What happened?" asks Steve Claridge on BBC Radio 5 live's full commentary. "De Gea looks like a little boy lost. But Sir Alex Ferguson will need to look after him now at half-time. He's only a young lad."
Half time
HALF-TIME - MANCHESTER CITY 2-0 MANCHESTER UNITED
Dzeko goal: Another goalkeeper error? Edwin Van der Sar may have controlled that with his in-step... Edin Dzeko, not marked tightly enough, picks up the ball before advancing to crack a low drive towards goal from 30-plus yards. It skidded and moved, but back-tracking David De Gea didn't dive until the ball was past him.
