In regards to the outright winner of the match in the “To Lift The Trophy” market you'll find United at a strong odds-on price of about 1/2 right now with their counterparts from the Midlands available at about 13/8 right now with most major bookmakers. It should be noted that a few of them still go as high as 2/1.

The first goal in matches like this is always crucial so it's no surprise that we have a bunch of competitive prices to see who's actually going to open the scoring in this massive clash. You'll find that the bookmakers and the betting public alike seem to agree that Zlatan Ibrahimovic is the betting choice to wind up as the opening goalscorer in the 2016 Community Shield. Look for him with a best price of about 4/1 to grab the first goal in the match.
It goes without saying that Big Zlatan will likely start the match so it's worth lumping on here now since he will likely play with Rooney alongside him and potentially Anthony Martial as well.
Marcus Rashford is certainly getting some attention from his manager and he's listed as the second most likely player to open the scoring with most major bookmakers pricing him at a 5/1 margin to grab a goal. Wayne Rooney is priced at a very interesting listing of about 11/2 and he is very likely to kick off this match so backing him to score first wouldn't be out of the question.
It's also worth noting that Rooney tends to take Manchester United's penalties as he did in their pre-season romp against Galatasaray. Should this one wind up being a tight match you at least have the knowledge that any Leicester mistakes committed inside the box will likely award Wayne Rooney a free crack at goal.
For Leicester, they've got Jamie Vardy trading as their betting favourite here with plenty of opportunity for him to get behind the United defenders who appeared to still have their nerves about them a bit in their match-up against the Turkish side last week.
Look for Jamie Vardy at about 7/1 to grab the opening goal of the 2016 Community Shield.
