After Horror Clash Puncturing Paul Mullin’s Lung, Wrexham Owner Ryan Reynolds Sends Appreciation to Manchester United Youngster Amid Rumored Sunderland Move

Out of all the pre-season friendlies, Wrexham AFC’s 3-1 victory against Manchester United surprised fans. The Red Dragons burned down the Red Devils in a pulsating affair. Although United fielded their under-21s side, Wrexham gained valuable match experience and fitness for the upcoming season. However, fans can hopefully erase the injury suffered by Paul Mullin from their memory. He collided with United goalkeeper Nathan Bishop, which left him with a punctured lung.

While most players react angrily to those injuries, the Wrexham soccer club made peace with the situation. With Mullin being their star man, his fitness is crucial to the team’s success. Ryan Reynolds spoke to Bishop following the incident.

According to Laurie Whitwell of the Athletic, he tweeted an update about Ryan’s message for the goalkeeper. The tweet stated, “Ryan Reynolds has messaged Nathan Bishop to express appreciation for the way he has dealt with the Paul Mullin incident. Wished him luck for the future. Bishop has also spoken with Mullin on messages after the game.” The incident occurred 20 minutes into the game when Mullin looked to latch onto a long ball.

However, Bishop came charging in and clashed with the Welsh striker. After that, Mullin had to receive oxygen on the pitch and was rushed off  the turf. Fans and players were anxious about the outcome, as he will miss the start of the season with a punctured lung. Yet, instead of being outraged, Ryan talked to Bishop and wished him well. Similarly, the goalkeeper communicated with Mullin, and all was well between the players.

Bishop is seemingly set for a move to Sunderland, and the game against Wrexham was probably the last time the keeper played in a Manchester shirt.

Bishops switch his attention to Sunderland

After the US tour, the goalkeeper is set to join Sunderland and be a backup option to Anthony Patterson. As the reckless challenge left Mullin gasping for breath, Bishop will look to start afresh and revitalize his career. He joined the Red Devils in 2020 from Southend United, but failed to make a Premier League appearance for the club. 

With Sunderland in the EFL Championship hoping to make it to the Premier League, it will be a sensational move for the keeper who looks to revitalize his career. Do you think Bishop will succeed?
