With Wrexham doing well in their pre-season tour in the United States, the performances have grabbed the attention of fans around the world. Club legend Mickey Arthur, who had two different spells with the club in his career, lavished praise on the co-owners. According to Arthur, the duo’s efforts demand a great amount of respect.

“To be on tour in America is incredible, but to attract that kind of opposition – Manchester United and Chelsea – just shows how powerful the club’s owners are. You have to give Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds a large amount of respect for making it happen.”

“They’ve completely sold out the Chelsea game. It’s not just about people that want to come and watch Chelsea play, people want to watch Wrexham and this team that everyone is talking about. This tour has shown just how popular Wrexham is. That will only get bigger, and Ryan and Rob will make sure of that.”

On the back of a great pre-season tour with two wins, a loss, and a draw, Wrexham will look to put their attention on the National League with their campaign starting on the 5th of August.

Wrexham hoping to secure consecutive promotions

Wrexham will face MK Dons in their opening fixture as they look to start their League Two campaign with a win. The team will be confident heading into the game following a successful pre-season and seem like favorites to take 3 points from the game.

However, despite their initial confidence, the team will surely miss out on the services of ace striker Paul Mullin. Mullin suffered a ruptured lung in the game against United and will be out for another six to seven weeks.

With the team hoping to find consecutive promotions to move up the ranks, it will be interesting to see how the Welsh side performs in the absence of their talisman. If Wrexham does manage to get past the opening hurdle, we could see a great run from the side in their coming games.
