The Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney that have become American sensations will play numerous games in the U.S. this calendar year.
SAN DIEGO — Soccer sensation Wrexham is coming to America. Not just on television screens, but on the pitch.
Wrexham will compete in a $1 million, winner-take-all, seven-on-seven tournament in June in Cary, North Carolina. But the match against Manchester United in the United States will be much bigger for many reasons. McElhenney said Wrexham will play other friendlies while in the United States with specific details to come.
McElhenney, who was wearing a Wrexham cap, said the team keeps selling out of its gear and knows it has a fan base on this side of the Atlantic Ocean. The match will be part of a summer U.S. tour by Manchester United. A youth-focused team drawn from its traveling squad, supplemented by academy prospects, will face Wrexham as part of a week-long training camp in San Diego.
