The charity shield is a no loss game
It's just a bit of fun
But city came out firing
As in decades they've won none
In spite of not much ball
They battled at their best
And in their most important game
Showed vigour and showed zest
They took a two goal lead
And made plans of sitting back
But underestimated
The power of our attack
As players new were solid
And down, were not to lie
As the Stretford end will tell you
United never die
The first came from Chris Smalling
To score a goal so rare
The centre back arising late
Side footing in mid air
The second came from Nani
And only shortly after
The berties loooking glum
The reds were filled with laughter
At this stage it's fair to say
Most of the stadium knew
The inevitable was coming
And the winners wouldn't be blue
So the script was handed to Kompany
Who decided to write a farce
Nani made a solid challenge
And left him on his arse
The run to goal was short
And Joe Hart made no fight
Nani rounded sweetly
Taking victory on the night
So thanks to the noisy neighbours
To leaving us with plenty
For letting us take silverware
Now on to number twenty
