Ferdinand took to social media after full-time to write: "Couldn't tell u how many community shields I won. Always enjoyed the day BUT..." The ex-England defender actually won the curtain-raiser fixture four times during his Old Trafford tenure and his comments were backed up by former teammate Roy Keane. Speaking on ITV, Keane praised the Gunners for their performance but suggested it will have very little impact on the upcoming Premier League title race. "We have to give Arsenal some credit. You want to get into good habits of winning matches but you have to step back, it is a friendly match," Keane said. "There will be good energy after that win in the Arsenal dressing room and they will take that into training this week. They will be in a better place going into the Forest game. It was more important for Arsenal to win than City today. I don't think it will have any bearing on the title race." The Premier League kick-off is on August 12.
