SAN DIEGO — Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson has hit out at Manchester United goalkeeper Nathan Bishop after a challenge which left striker Paul Mullin in hospital.
Parkinson said he was “fuming” after Mullin suffered a punctured lung during Wrexham’s 3-1 win over a United academy side at Snapdragon Stadium in California on Tuesday.

Mullin received oxygen on the pitch but was able to walk off after more than five minutes of treatment with help from Wrexham medical staff before being taken to hospital.
“I’m fuming about it, I’ve got to be honest with you,” Parkinson said after the final whistle.
“It was a clumsy, reckless, challenge in a preseason game and I’m not happy with it at all. I haven’t seen the goalie and he’s probably best steering clear of us for the time being because we’re not very happy.”
