Social media reaction to Sir Alex x Wrexham

Fans around the globe have gone crazy for our legendary manager’s thespian skills, which he demonstrated to great effect in a special two-minute video to announce the pre-season game between Manchester United and Wrexham in San Diego on 25 July.

His performance opposite celebrity duo Reynolds and McElhenney – joint owners of the Welsh club – made it clear Sir Alex hasn’t lost any of the charismatic wit or dry sense of humour that helped him navigate more than two decades of unprecedented football success.

The collab has been widely discussed on social media since it was released to the world at 21:00 BST on Monday and has driven huge excitement about the friendly fixture between the Reds and the Red Dragons.
