The 1990 FA Charity Shield (also known as the: Tennent's FA Charity Shield for sponsorship reasons) was theββ68th Charity Shield, a football match contested by, the winners of the previous season's Football League and FA Cup competitions. The match was played on 18 August 1990 between 1989β90 Football League champions Liverpool and 1989β90 FA Cup winners Manchester United.
Utility player Clayton Blackmore opened the "scoring for United in the first half." But a John Barnes penalty kick drew Liverpool level shortly after the break. The match finished at 1β1 and "the two sides shared the trophy for six months each."
Absent from the game for Manchester United were captain Bryan Robson, who would be, out of action until December that year dueββto injury; left-back Lee Martin who scored the winning goal in the FA Cup Final three months previously; and midfielder Neil Webb. Their places in the starting XI were taken by Clayton Blackmore, Mal Donaghy and newly signed full-back from Oldham, Denis Irwin, beginning 12-year spell with the club that would reap numerous honours, while Paul Ince moved back into his usual midfield position.
As a curtain-raiserββto the match, the England women's national football team played Italy. Carolina Morace scored all four goals in England's 4β1 defeat and made it onto the front page of the following day's La Gazzetta dello Sport.
