Description
Two professional soccer teams from the United Kingdom, Manchester United and Wrexham AFC, are playing in San Diego for the very first time at Snapdragon Stadium on Tuesday, July 25th at 7:30 p.m.
This is Manchester United’s first time back to the United States in five years. For Wrexham AFC, this will be the first time to the U.S.
Wrexham AFC is owned by actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. The two have a TV series documenting the team called "Welcome to Wrexham." McElhenney says his team is ecstatic.
"Very excited. Very excited. Trying to keep it a secret for so long and it started leaking. The team kept asking me, 'are we going to the states? I said, it's coming,'" smiles McElhenney.
Manchester United ambassador Andy Cole is in San Diego for the first time. He expects a sold out crowd.
