"We're delighted to confirm our match in Helsinki against Manchester United," said Wrexham chief executive Michael Williamson. "It will be a great occasion, at a famous venue against an iconic opponent, and just as importantly a good test on the pitch as part of our pre-season preparations. "We look forward to seeing our supporters in Finland and meeting new fans from the Nordic region too.
" Wrexham - owned by Hollywood duo Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac - will also travel again to America, where they will face Leeds United in Tampa, Florida on Saturday, July 25. Phil Parkinson's side will then take on Liverpool in New York on Wednesday July 29 before completing the trip against a fourth Premier League side, meeting Sunderland in Mac's home city Philadelphia on Sunday, August 2. "Our pre-season programme has come together, with some great games planned both in Europe and the United States and promises to be an exciting summer for all involved," added Williamson.
