“Having a Word With Man Utd’s Youth Team Goalie” – After Paul Mullin’s Lung Injury, Wrexham Owner Ryan Reynolds Jokes About Next Course of Action

Earlier today, Wrexham AFC took the field against Manchester United in their much-awaited pre-season clash. The match was expected to be a pulsating encounter, but an unfortunate incident stole all the headlines.

The Red Dragons earlier today pulled off a surprise upset against Premier League giants, Manchester United. However, a rash decision by Red Devil’s goalkeeper, Nathan Bishop, has been the talking point ever since.

In the 12th minute of the match, Nathan Bishop clattered with Wrexham star striker Paul Mullin, leaving the latter in a heap on the turf. The striker immediately asked for help and required an oxygen mask before being stretchered off.

Later, when they ran diagnostics, it was later revealed that Mullin has unfortunately punctured his lungs. So far, no further communication has come from the club except by Ryan Reynolds, who left a cheeky caption on Instagram. A few hours before, Ryan Reynolds met UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and his team to discuss filmmaking in the country.

He shared the pic online with the caption detailing his visit to the residence of the Prime Minister. He ended the caption addressing Rob McElhenney’s absence by cheekily implying that Rob is absent since he is “having a word with Man Utd’s youth team goalie.”

However, Manchester United’s U21 head coach has come out in defense of his under-fire goalkeeper.

After suffering a 3-1 loss against Wrexham, United’s U21 coach Travis Binnion defended goalie Nathan Bishop in the post-match presser. He expressed regret for Paul Mullin’s condition but pointed out that soccer is a contact sport at the end of the day. He said his player had no bad intentions.

“It’s part and parcel of the game. Nobody wants to see anyone get injured. He’s made an honest challenge, he’s come off worse. He’s already reached out to him,” said Binnion, defending his goalkeeper.

All said and done, Nathan Bishop should be cut some slack for his actions. It clearly wasn’t intentional. All we should instead hope for is a speedy recovery for Paul Mullin and no further health complications!
