After Tackle Sent Paul Mullin to Hospital, Wrexham’s Ben Foster Visits the Manchester United Star and Renders a Warm Gesture

Wrexham‘s excitement for the game against Manchester United turned into a nightmare when their star striker, Paul Mullin, was taken off the field following a nasty collision. While the team managed to secure a 3-1 win at the end of the final whistle, missing their ace for the next six to eight weeks is a tremendous blow.

Paul Mullin, who started off the game for Wrexham, was taken off the field in the opening minutes. The striker was involved in a collision with United goalkeeper Nathan Bishop that saw him hit the ground. Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson was fuming after the game as he informed the media about Mullin suffering a ruptured lung.

Wrexham’s goalkeeper for former Manchester United star, Ben Foster, took his time to meet the young goalkeeper to assure him the injury was not his fault. According to sources, Manchester United staff were pleased with Forster’s action towards Collins after he came under direct fire from Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson.
