Wrexham score!!

Goaaaaaal!! Wrexham score their 3rd goal. Sam Dolby restores the two-goal advantage. Excellent move from Wrexham as Dolby finishes the move that he started. Heads it in from close range to make it 3-1 for Wrexham.

Wrexham win a corner. Nathan Bishop manages to fist it away and the follow up from Cannon is wayward and wide.

Man United avert danger - MNU 1 WRX 2 (58')

Two good balls in from the left-wing by Wrexham. The first one is cleared out by Man United, and the second one was a tantalizing cross but just over the head of Billy Waters.

Wrexham having it easy

Wrexham, with their man advantage, are at ease now. They have the lead and the man advantage. Hence the onus is on those youngsters of Manchester United to come up with the initiative.

A massive problem for Manchester United so early in the 2nd half. It will be an uphill task for those youngsters in Green now, especially after going down to Ten. The latest to go into the book is Alvaro Fernandez.

Red Card!

A straight Red Card for Daniel Gore. A one-footed challenge showing his studs shows him a straight Red for the Man United youngster. He looks distraught but it was a reckless one for a friendly. You can argue the decision was a bit harsh, but initially it looked dangerous and the referee went with that.

Man United vs Wrexham: 2nd Half Starts

We have started for the second half at the Snapdragon Stadium. All to play for both teams. Man United would be desperate for an equalizer, while Wrexham push to restore their 2-goal lead.

As we understand, Wrexham striker Paul Mullin is being taken to hospital after his collision with Man United keeper Nathan Bishop.

Manchester United will be boosted by the late goal. It is all to play for in San Diego as we prepare for the final 45 minutes.

Man United 1 Wrexham 2 (Half Time)

At the break, Manchester United's 100 percent winning record seems to be in jeopardy as they are losing 1-2. Despite a bright start, United youngsters find themselves behind.

Goaaaaaal!! Marc Jurado scores at the final second of the first half. A decent cross from left hand side and Jurado finishes it on a volley to half the deficit.

5 minutes Added On

The youngsters of Manchester United are struggling at the moment. They will have to inspire themselves and try to have a better outing after the break. 5 minutes are added on for all the stoppage, mainly due to Mullin's injury.

Wrexham 2nd Goal

Wrexham double their lead

Goaaaal!! It is another goal for Wrexham. This time Aaron Hayden scores from a header to double the lead for the minnows. Max Cleworth is the provider. Man United are in disarray as the veterans are clearly in charge.

Nathan Bishop was at fault again for the goal. Not a good start for the Red Devils custodian. Credit to Wrexham, who have rallied without Mullin and that was decent play from them. The cross was perfect and Lee's run was quite a sublime one.

Elliott Lee Scores for Wrexham

Goaaaal!! Elliott Lee has given Wrexham a massive lead. The player scores from a very close range after a cross from Liam McAlinden. It is Wrexham 1 Man United 0

Save from Bishop to deny Wrexham

A vicious strike from Elliott Lee but is saved by Bishop. First save by the Red Devils keeper in the match.

MNU 0 WRX 0 (20')

After a long gap, the play resumes. The resulting free kick is blazed over by Wrexham. It is still goalless at the Snapdragon Stadium.

Well, the good thing is that Mullin is up. He still has the Oxygen mask on but it is a massive relief to see the player walking on his own legs. He still has some discomfort but will be able to walk off the pitch.

That was a nasty collision. There is serious concern for Mullin, who is unable to continue. The medical staff is still treating him on the pitch and it seems the colliding was serious. He is given oxygen on the field. Definite concern in the Wrexham camp for their talismanic striker.

Bishop Yellow Carded, Mullin injured

Bishop, the Man United keeper gets a yellow card. In another match, this is a Red. Bishop rushes out from his goal and collides with Wrexham striker Paul Mullin, who is down injured. A simple long ball was enough for Wrexham to get behind Man United defense.

Foul on Shola Shoretire by Cleworth. Free Kick from a long range for Manchester United. The ball comes in from Shoretire but is intercepted by a Wrexham head.
