Charity Shield: Manchester City 2-3 Manchester United.

Picture Source

Manchester United completed a stunning fightback to clinch The FA Community Shield at Wembley, coming from two down at half-time to beat their City rivals.

Joleon Lescott had headed Roberto Mancini's team into the lead after half an hour, and against the run of play they took a two-goal advantage when Edin Dzeko struck from distance. But United proved once again they are at their most dangerous when seemingly beaten, with Chris Smalling and a brace from man of the match Nani completing the comeback.

United had made a fast start with the counter attacking options of Young, Nani, Rooney and Welbeck causing City a number of concerns in the opening ten minutes. Young saw the clearest chance after just three minutes, but a deflection saw his shot go wide for a corner. From the resulting deliver Nani and Smalling both had opportunities to shoot but neither troubled Joe Hart's goal.

David Beckham is BACK for Manchester United!!!

Recognize this guy here?

Yes, who can forget him eh... He is, none other than David Beckham.

He played for Manchester United from 1993-2003, before signing for Real Madrid.

Yes, he is back... or rather, he was BACK.

David Beckham surely looked at home. The Galaxy midfielder, back in a Manchester United shirt for best pal Gary Neville's testimonial match Tuesday at Old Trafford, received the loudest ovation and was serenaded with “Fergie, sign him up” chants in his return to his original club. He also saw a lot more action than he expected, and more than the Galaxy would have preferred. The 36-year-old midfielder, given permission by L.A. to miss Wednesday's game at Home Depot Center against Houston, played the full 90 minutes in a 2-1 loss to Italian giants Juventus.

Beckham, making his first appearance for Man United since leaving for Real Madrid in 2003, played in his trademark spot on the right flank, just in front of Neville, and delighted the crowd with his touch, passing and two shots. He forced a diving save from Juventus goalkeeper Marco Storari just before halftime, and blistered a free kick just over the crossbar in the 68th minute.

#GetGibboBack on Twitter!

According to The Sun, MANCHESTER UNITED midfielder Darron Gibson has been hounded off Twitter — just TWO HOURS after setting up his account. The Republic of Ireland international faced a barrage of abuse from angry United fans unhappy with his performances for the team this season.

Gibson set up an account on the popular social networking site at around lunchtime today under the username @dgibbo28. United defender Rio Ferdinand confirmed it was real and urged his 842,000 followers to welcome his club-mate.

But within two hours, the account had disappeared completely with the 23-year-old sent seemingly reeling following a backlash from some of his side's supporters. One United 'fan' wrote: "Team do all hard work keeping possession then you hit row Z every f****** time! #don'tshootyou'res***"

Another said: "You are an abysmal excuse for a footballer. You're a one trick pony — a s*** one at that. What Fergie sees in you I don't know." A male United follower even urged the Irishman to leave Old Trafford. He said: "Your f***ing awful, get out of the club." And a fourth spewed: "You are s***, Fergie will sell you off in the summer. #justsaying". However, scores of United fans have since leapt to the defence of Gibson and vented their dismay at the treatment he received on the website.

And a #getgibboback hashtag has been created in an attempt to get the Derry-born player to return to the site.
