In the 90 minutes of regular play, Alejandro Garnacho came off the bench to score for United, giving them the lead.
However, Bernardo Silva, also a substitute, equalized late in the match, pushing the game to a penalty shootout.
Garnacho’s goal made him the youngest player to score in the Community Shield since Cesc Fabregas in 2005 for Arsenal against Chelsea, and the youngest for United since George Best in 1965.
