NEW BOYS MUST WAIT FOR UNITED

Manchester United are likely to have a very familiar look about them when they tackle Chelsea in Sunday's Community Shield at Wembley.

Although Sir Alex Ferguson has signed three new players, Owen Hargreaves, Nani and Anderson, with another to come in Carlos Tevez at some point early next week, none is likely to be in the Premier League champions' starting line-up.

Wayne Rooney and Ryan Giggs are expected to spearhead United's attack as they look for revenge after losing the FA Cup final to Jose Mourinho's men at the same venue in May.

Chelsea are without Michael Ballack and Wayne Bridge (both ankle) and Salomon Kalou (knee).

Arjen Robben and Frank Lampard are both available along with England left-back Ashley Cole.

Didier Drogba will lead a three-man attack with Joe Cole and Florent Malouda.

Teams

Man Utd (from): Van der Sar, Kuszczak, Brown, Bardsley, Pique, Simpson, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evans, Silvestre, Evra, Ronaldo, Fletcher, O'Shea, Carrick, Eagles, Giggs, Rooney.

Chelsea (from): Cech, Cudicini, Hilario, Ferreira, A Cole, Diarra, Sidwell, Essien, Lampard, Robben, Mikel, Malouda, J Cole, Drogba, Shevchenko, Ben Haim, Pizarro, Terry, Carvalho.
