Wrexham co-owner Ryan Reynolds aimed a sly dig at Manchester United's Nathan Bishop after the goalkeeper's incident with Paul Mullin in the pre-season friendly.
It was a game to forget for a young United side against the Dragons, who have been promoted from the National League and are preparing for life in League Two. Wrexham won 3-1 in San Diego.
The Reds found themselves two goals down in the first half but a strike from Marc Jurado on the stroke of half-time cut the Welsh side's lead in half. But United ended the game with 10 men after their captain on the night, Dan Gore, was harshly shown a straight red just two minutes into the second half, and they could not find an equaliser after Jurado's strike, with Wrexham's two-goal lead restored later on in the second half.

One of the big talking points of the game took place in the first half, when United goalkeeper Bishop fouled Wrexham talisman Mullin, forcing him off with an oxygen mask. Mullin suffered a punctured lung with a heavy challenge.
Bishop, 23, later reached out to Mullin and apologised for the incident on Twitter. However, the incident drew the ire of Dragons boss Phil Parkinson, who labelled the challenge "clumsy" as he aired his disappointment that the goalkeeper was not sent off, and even suggested Bishop should "steer clear" of Wrexham after the incident.
