    Next Pro presents coverage of MLS clubs’ second teams, which are often home to franchises’ up and coming talent.
    Given MLS clubs do not have academy systems this is often where fans catch their first glimpse of budding wonderkids.
    And Wrexham found that out yesterday when they went toe to toe with Philadelphia Union’s second XI last night.
    The Welsh club owned by Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds have been touring the US ahead of their League Two season.
    READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
    The pre-season tour has seen them go up against Chelsea and Manchester United as well as the second XI of LA Galaxy.
    Their 1-1 draw with the Philadelphia Union on Friday night was heavily interrupted by thunderstorms as the game encountered a two-and-a-half hour delay.
    Tom O’Connor put Wrexham ahead after 43 minutes before Jeremy Rafanello equalised for the home side with a free-kick in first-half stoppage time.
    The teams had an extended half-time break after the extreme heat turned to thunderstorms and fans were warned to leave open seated areas to take refuge.

    Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson then rotated his entire XI for the second half as the Welsh club huffed and puffed to find a winner.
    Meanwhile, star striker Paul Mullin continued his recovery from a punctured lung that left him hospitalised as he was discharged from hospital.
    Mullin sustained the injury in a clash with young goalkeeper Nathan Bishop during Wrexham’s 3-1 win over the Red Devils.
    He has now joined up with the rest of his team-mates as they prepare to fly back to Wales.
    Wrexham co-owner Ryan Reynolds called the young goalkeeper to smooth over any ill-feeling after it was felt that he was being vilified by Wrexham fans.
    Wrexham boss Parkinson reacted angrily after the match – calling Bishop “clumsy” and “reckless” in his post-match interview, much to the dismay of United staff.
    But the incident is now considered to be closed by both clubs. More
