SAN DIEGO—Soccer sensation Wrexham is coming to America. Not just on television screens, but on the pitch.

The fifth-tier Welsh side, which has become a fan favorite since Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney bought it and launched a documentary series, “Welcome to Wrexham,” will play Manchester United in a friendly on July 25 at San Diego State’s 35,000-seat Snapdragon Stadium.
