Rob McElhenney admits he's ready to be booed by his own fans at Wrexham game

It promises to be an emotional affair when Rob McElhenney takes his Wrexham side back to his beloved Philadelphia - but the comedian is not exactly expecting a warm reception.

The "It's Always Sunny" actor's team won hearts and minds across the globe following their successful promotion push last term, which saw them triumph over rivals Notts County to reach the EFL via automatic promotion. Now McElhenney and his co-owner Ryan Reynolds are taking the North Wales outfit across the pond for a tour of the USA.

Wrexham will head stateside for matches against Premier League giants Manchester United and Chelsea, with a clash against LA Galaxy's second string also in the diary. The exhibition game against Philadelphia Union II will be of particular intrigue, with McElhenney famously having been born and raised in the Pennsylvanian city.
