July 26, (THEWILL) – At the Snapdragon Stadium, Wrexham FC celebrated a remarkable 3-1 win against Manchester United’s youthful squad, a remarkable result that was marred by a concerning lung injury sustained by Wrexham star, Paul Mullin.
The League Two newcomers, under the ownership of Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, were impressive throughout, securing the historic triumph in front of a packed crowd of 34,248 spectators. Nevertheless, Mullin’s injury left the team anxiously awaiting updates on his condition.
Wrexham’s attacking force was evident as Elliot Lee, Aaron Hayden, and Sam Dalby found the back of the net, granting Phil Parkinson’s men a well-deserved halftime lead. The determined effort from Travis Binnion’s United side, which saw Marc Jurado score, was insufficient to overcome the spirited Wrexham team. The match took an unfortunate turn for Dan Gore, who received a red card in the second half, igniting debates over the referee’s decision, particularly after a challenge on Andy Cannon only resulted in a booking for United’s goalkeeper, Nathan Bishop.
Mullin was replaced by Billy Waters in the 19th minute after he suffered a heavy collision leading to an extended stoppage for medical attention. The Wrexham star left the field groggily with an oxygen mask around his neck, leaving fans and management worried about the extent of his injury.
Given Mullin’s pivotal role in the team’s success from his striking position up front in the Wrexham frontline, updates on his fitness will be crucial for teammates ahead of their upcoming matches.
