"We enjoy welcoming supporters from the US to the Racecourse Ground, and we're looking forward to being able to play in front of some of these new fans on American soil in the summer."

The game will be the first of Manchester United's summer tour .

The club's football director John Murtough said: "This will be the first time the team has visited San Diego, and we are looking forward to playing in front of our passionate US fans."

Wrexham appear to be flying Chris and the above seems quite a coup. The owners are using their profile and contacts to promote and market the club well. They also seem to genuinely understand the fans and make efforts with them. It's going to be interesting to see how things develop there but it appears that the foundations have been made for growth, organic at first and then who knows with the owners impressive network of contacts.

Good times if your a gog for sure.
