April 2024 · 3 minute read

Wrexham will host Salford City in a huge League Two clash this weekend, live on talkSPORT 2.

The Welsh side are now one of the most famous lower league sides around because they are co-owned by Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.

Meanwhile, Salford also boast famous backers themselves and are owned by Manchester United's Class of 92, which includes Gary Neville and Paul Scholes.

Both sides have their sights set on making it to League One, but it's Wrexham that are in the better position.

They are currently just outside the play-offs on goal difference, while their opponents are sat in midtable, four points behind Wrexham.
