Young Wrexham fan to be mascot for Man City vs Manchester United FA Cup final after heartbreak

A young Wrexham supporter has been chosen as a mascot for Manchester City's Emirates FA Cup final clash against Manchester United.

Mia Matthews, 10, has already seen the Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney owned fifth tier club return to the Football League after a 15 year absence. It has been a joyous moment in a tough year which saw her grandfather die following a long illness.

Her favourite player, Aaron Hayden, then surprised her pitchside to reveal the exciting experience.
