Manchester United will play for the Snapdragon Cup this summer when they meet Wrexham as part of their American tour
The Reds announced that Snapdragon, a brand of processors for United's global partner Qualcomm Technologies, are headlining the tour. As a result the fixture in San Diego, where the stadium is sponsored by Snapdragon, against the National League champions will have silverware on the line, and the trophy will then be donated to a local school.
United midfielder Casemiro was among the Reds players to star in the launch video for the sponsor. The Reds take on Wrexham on July 25 when a youthful side will face the Welsh club owned by Hollywood actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.
