Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney’s Wrexham AFC will take on Manchester United in a preseason contest, with the Deadpool star tweeting his excitement.
Back in November 2020, Deadpool star Reynolds teamed with Rob McElhenney - famed for creating and starring in ‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’ - to purchase Wrexham for $2.76million. The duo have become symbols of Welsh football around the world with the publicity and exposure their platforms have bought to the club and the area, largely though the popular sports documentary titled ‘Welcome to Wrexham’.
Wrexham are currently top of the National League and their American owners have big plans for the future, with games against the Premier League giants believed to be provisionally agreed. Their clash with Erik ten Hag’s side is scheduled to go down in San Diego at the Snapdragon Stadium in July, forming part of United’s preseason tour of the US - their first since 2018 - which will likely feature a match in Las Vegas.
