Parkinson: Wrexham boss threatens Man United goalkeeper after star player suffered punctured lung

Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson is an unhappy man after his star player Paul Mullin was sent to the hospital against Manchester United.

The Red Dragons defeated a very youthful Manchester United side 3-1 at the Snapdragon Stadium in San Diego.

Wrexham battled the Red Devils in a highly anticipated and publicised encounter between the two teams.

However, the famous win came at a cost for the newly promoted League Two who saw superstar Mullin end up in a hospital.

The forward collided with United’s young goalkeeper Nathan Bishop in the first half of the clash.

Mullin came out worse off from the collision which saw him taken to a hospital where he was diagnosed with a punctured lung.

Mullin proved decisive as Wrexham made history en route to promotion to League Two from League One last season.

Wrexham manager Parkinson has not taken the news lightly and has angrily lashed out to United’s young goalkeeper who he described as reckless.

“I am fuming about it,” Wrexham manager Parkinson said in a video making the rounds on Social media platform X.
