Manchester United will play a friendly against Wrexham in San Diego as part of their summer tour of the United States.

Wrexham, who are top of the National League — the fifth tier of England football — were bought by Hollywood stars Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds in November 2020.

United ambassador Andy Cole travelled to San Diego to announce the match, alongside McElhenney.

United said a “youth-focused team drawn from the travelling tour squad” will take part in the July 25 match, which will take place at the 35,000-capacity Snapdragon Stadium.

Wrexham and United have already announced stateside pre-season plans for this summer. Wrexham, who are vying for promotion to the English Football League, will take part in ‘The Soccer Tournament’, a seven-a-side competition, while United confirmed their intention to return to the US for pre-season training earlier this month.

Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson said: “We’re looking forward to being able to play in the United States for the first time in the Club’s history. The match against Manchester United is sure to be a memorable occasion at Snapdragon Stadium, San Diego.

“We enjoy welcoming supporters from the US to the Racecourse Ground, and we’re looking forward to being able to play in front of some of these new fans on American soil in the summer.”
