MANCHESTER UNITED are now live battling Wrexham in a huge pre-season friendly in San Diego.
Paul Mullin was injured in the first 20 minutes after colliding with United’s goalkeeper Nathan Bishop, forcing the forward out of the game.
But minutes later, the Red Dragons hammered in their first of the night thanks to Elliott Lee. Soon after, Aaron Hayden doubled the Welsh side’s lead with a header.
Just seconds before the half, United get one back.
To start the second half, Daniel Gore picked up a red card for the Red Devils. Following the sending-off, Wrexham tapped in their third of the night off Sam Dalby’s boot.
It has been a memorable tour of the States for Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney’s newly-promoted Wrexham, with matches against Chelsea and LA Galaxy.
