Chelsea and Manchester United could be set to face non-league side Wrexham this summer as part of a pre-season friendly. It comes amid the rapid exposure to the public eye for the Welsh outfit since their high-profile takeover in recent years.
Wrexham were bought by movie star Ryan Reynolds alongside television celebrity Rob McElhenney in November 2020 in a move that shocked many. The Red Dragons are one of the oldest football clubs in the pyramid, but their steady decline over the years saw them drop out of the football league and come close to going out of business entirely.
The new owners have famously recorded a series on their time since taking over the club, which has seen plenty of money invested off the pitch as well as on it. The side missed out narrowly on promotion as they lost in last season's playoffs, with this campaign seeing them sit second in a heated automatic promotion race with Notts County.
