Manchester City and Manchester United are looking to win the FA Community Shield.
Fans have raised the same point just minutes into the FA Community Shield final at Wembley.
As per traditions, the FA Community Shield final kicks off the new season with the Premier League winners taking on the holders of the FA Cup.
This year, Manchester City and Manchester United face off at Wembley again ahead of the 24/25 campaign.
However, within minutes of the match, fans raised a concerning point on social media about the number of empty seats dotted around the Wembley Stadium.
One fan said: “Empty seats galore at the community shield. Making two teams from
Manchester travel to London for a nothing game.”
Another tweeted: “Why is there so many empty seats at Wembley?!”
Speaking ahead of the match, United goalkeeper Andre Onana said: “We are here to win. We already showed that we can beat anyone. We are here to fight and represent Manchester United.
“We have new coaches now but it is always positive to have new people around so you can say it is a new start.”
He added: “I expect me to myself. I had a difficult start last season I know if I am myself I can be the best. I came here as the top goalkeeper in the world so I know I can be at the top level.”
Meanwhile, City boss Pep Guardiola said: “We are here because we did something good last season. The rival deserves to be here because they won something.
“In the holidays the energy is gone but once you start the competitions the energy rises. Waiting for all the squad to come back and see how we are training and what is our mentality to see what is going to happen.”
