Last night, Wrexham pulled off an upset by defeating Premier League giants Manchester United. The match was emotionally exhilarating from start to end as we saw everything from Paul Mullin suffering a critical injury, a red card, and goals galore.
After a pulsating encounter like this; you’d normally expect the players to take the day off. But the enthusiastic Red Dragons were spotted at San Diego just hours after the match supporting MLB giants San Diego Padres.

Just like their own match against Manchester United, this match also had its own set of controversies with Pirates pitcher Angel Pedromo getting ejected in the 7th innings. The match was evenly contested throughout with the Pirates stealing a win at the end.

Another reason why the Red Dragons player might have ventured out so soon after the match is due to their US Tour coming to an end soon. They will be playing the last match of their pre-season Tour this Saturday against American side Philadelphia Union II.
They will face Philadelphia without their talisman Paul Mullin who suffered ruptured lungs in the last match. This injury will be a big headache for the Red Dragons as he is set to miss out on the start of Wrexham’s League 2 campaign.
