Wrexham Stuns United in Preseason | MLS News

Manchester United stumbled in their preseason opener against Wrexham, falling to a 1-0 defeat in Finland — but it was more about rebuilding than results. Sam Smith’s first-half strike proved decisive in a low-key match as United, missing 15 key players, gave debut minutes to new £50m signing Andrey Santos, whose 93% passing accuracy hinted at midfield promise. Halftime brought a complete squad overhaul, fielding only academy graduates — a vital chance for youth to shine. While the loss stings, this friendly was always about fitness, chemistry, and testing lineups — the real grind begins when the full squad returns.
