After the first friendly game against Chelsea, Wrexham saw a massive improvement in their second game. They played the famous Manchester United and completely dominated the game. They won the game 3-1 but, make no mistake, United fielded a young under-21s side. But it is imperative to understand the level of performance the soccer club needed to put in. Despite the youthful exuberance of United in the game, Wrexham played well and can be happy with the progress. Later, Ryan Reynolds came out on Twitter and appreciated the opportunity to play with the Red Devils.

Even though Paul Mullin suffered a grievous injury, the game went well for the Red Dragons. Thus, it became sensational for the club, and they gained valuable experience. Heading to the 2023/24 season, these games will help with team build cohesion and offer them an understanding of tactics used by boss Phil Parkinson. Hence, Ryan acknowledged the team for letting them play the Red Devils.

Paul Mullin suffers a devastating injury

The star striker clashed heads with United’s Nathon Bishop but left the game on a stretcher. Phil Parkinson, the Wrexham boss, confirmed he had a punctured lung that takes six to eight weeks to recover fully. The club cannot afford to miss the striker who scored 46 goals in all competitions last season. Hopefully, there will be no further complications, and Mullin hopes to get back on the pitch to steamroll his opponents.
