Isco made it 2-0 after the break (52), with the Spaniard putting in a man of the match performance.

Romelu Lukaku scored a consolation goal for United (62), making amends for a poor miss earlier in the match.

Real won and secured back to back UEFA Super Cup titles, the first side since AC Milan in the 89 and 90 seasons to do so.

It will be a tough season for Jose Mourinho, with the club now having to juggle UEFA Champions League and League commitments.

They have made some excellent summer signings in the form of Lukaku, Matic and Victor Lindelof.

Mourinho identified the spine of his side as an area to progress and they have just one more target - Ivan Perisic.

This opening fixture will be a huge challenge, with West Ham also having an excellent transfer window.

Manchester United come into this match as favourites, with home advantage and their pedigree informing the odds.

Tough Start

West Ham come into this match on the back of a 3-0 loss against Manchester City, a tough result for Bilic's side.

Gabriel de Jesus opened the scoring for Manchester City (8), with the young Brazillian hoping to have a huge impact this season.

Sergio Aguero (56) doubled City's advantage in the second half, with David Silva expertly assisting the Argentine.

Raheem Sterling confirmed the win and 3-0 scoreline in the 71st minute, completing a dominant performance for City.

Success Needed

West Ham endured a tough campaign last season, with Bilic's men finishing in 11th place with 45 points.

It was a tough second season at West Ham for Slaven Bilic, it was a tough opening season in their new London Stadium.
