Why you should back Manchester United
These two teams are literally leagues apart as Manchester United are in England's top league while Wrexham were just promoted to the fourth division for this season. United are coming off a successful season that saw the Red Devils win the EFL Cup, place second in the FA Cup and finish third in the English Premier League. They've also had a perfect preseason thus far, defeating Leeds United, Lyon and Arsenal without allowing a goal in any of those matches.
While Man U's reserves are expected to make up most, if not all, of this squad, Wrexham could still be overwhelmed by the talent of the Red Devils' B-team. Last week, Chelsea fielded a team of mostly reserves and they easily dispatched of Wrexham 5-0. Manchester United were far superior to Chelsea last year as the former finished third in the EPL while the latter finished in 12th place. See which team to pick here.
Why you should back Wrexham
It's quite unusual for a fourth-division team like Wrexham to get the opportunity to face a top-tier team like Manchester United, so Wrexham will put their best foot forward in a high-profile affair. Being able to play their best players against Manchester United's reserves will undoubtedly level the playing field, as the most recent Man U reserve squad had just one player over 23 years old.
Wrexham also enter this match with confidence after easily dispatching of LA Galaxy II in their last match by a 4-0 score. Wrexham defeated the reserve squad of the LA Galaxy in their own backyard in Carson, Calif., with four different players accounting for the scoring. Additionally, Wrexham have a prolific goal scorer in Paul Mullin, who topped the FA Cup with eight goals last season, which were three more than anyone else. See which team to pick here.
