Arsenal will get the opportunity to take on Manchester City in the Community Shield later this year after the latter claimed the FA Cup.
The Gunners led the Premier League for huge chunks of the season but failed in holding off Pep Guardiola's side, who put together a stellar run to overhaul the north Londoners, eventually winning the title by five points. Arsenal's form did nosedive in the final weeks, although optimism is high at the Emirates.
Mikel Arteta's side finished without a trophy and, usually, those who finish second don't get the chance to compete in the season's curtain raiser - the Community Shield - for that achievement alone. Had United won the FA Cup then it would be them taking on City in August.
