After a brand-building slog around the Far East and Asia, the serious business of managing Manchester United is beginning for David Moyes.
.
The newcomer could excuse lackluster results on the preseason tour while getting acquainted with the United side he inherited from Alex Ferguson.
.
But starting Sunday, there's little margin for error.
.
In the traditional curtain raiser to the English season, Premier League champion United faces FA Cup winner Wigan at Wembley Stadium.
.
Though the Community Shield is rarely considered a major piece of silverware, it presents Moyes the chance to pick up his first trophy as United manager.
.
Moyes' only honour so far is the third-tier title he won with Preston in 2000 before 11 impressive but trophyless years with Everton.
.
He was hand-picked, though, by Ferguson to succeed him after a 27-year United reign that produced 38 trophies - including 10 Community Shields.
.
"I will be trying to make this the first trophy of many," Moyes said. "But, if we win, it's really something that will have been earned by Sir Alex."
.
"It's because of his good work in the Premier League last season that we're in the Community Shield. I'll do my best to finish off the job but it's Sir Alex who will deserve a lot of the credit if we're successful at Wembley."
.
Moyes has already said it's "impossible" to try to match the trophy haul of his fellow Scotsman.
.
The success, however, will have to continue.
.
"We're almost there as far as preseason goes," Moyes said. "I think we'd like to have a bit more continuity than what we've had. We've had one or two players
dropping in and out because of injury, but the players have been great."
.
Apart from Wayne Rooney, perhaps.
.
Frustrated at his playing time last season, the 27- year-old Rooney asked Ferguson toward the end of the season to be allowed to leave the 20-time English champions.
David Moyes has done very well so far cos so many of our players have really improved. He won the Community Shield today already though....
