Wrexham announce huge financial boost after Ryan Reynolds gave fans a scare

Wrexham co-owner Ryan Reynolds shocked supporters by suggesting the Welsh club was changing their name to 'Wrexham United' before announcing American airline United as their new front-of-shirt sponsor.

Reynolds tweeted a graphic on Thursday afternoon that included the phrase 'Wrexham United' in white text on a red background, accompanied by the caption: "Yes. This. Is. Happening." McElhenney followed suit, quote-tweeting the message and replying: "Change is in the air."

They were quick to clarify their comments in a video announcing the deal, which will provide another huge financial boost to the Reds as they prepare for life back in the Football League.
