Wrexham ended this year’s football calendar on a high note. The club managed to pull off promotion to League Two by winning the National League with a record of 111 points. Aside from this, they also had a good FA Cup run. Ryan Reynolds’ side reached the fourth round of the competition but was eliminated by Sheffield United.

However, last night marked the emphatic FA Cup Final between Manchester City and Manchester United. The fans didn’t expect the final to be a Manchester derby. While Wrexham fans were wishing if it could have been the Welsh side in place of either club, their star player, Paul Mullin, was in a dilemma as he wanted someone else in the final!

Wrexham star reveals FA Cup final conundrum

Yesterday, Pep Guardiola’s City managed to outclass Erik Ten Hag’s United to clinch the silverware. Other club supporters were in a dilemma as to who they should back, and so was Mullin. In a recent interview with talkSPORT, the striker wanted both Manchester clubs to lose the final.

“We had a good run in the FA Cup and ran Sheffield United really close so we should be really proud of ourselves but obviously disappointed to lose,” he said while talking about the FA Cup. “But today, it is not the occasion I wanted with two Manchester clubs and supporting Liverpool but it will be good to see [Erling] Haaland and co.”

The striker admitted his love for Liverpool and said he doesn’t want either of the team to win the final. “I hope it goes to penalties and the lights go out and they can’t finish the game. That would be the ideal scenario! But I am a Liverpool fan, loved it this time last year when Liverpool were here.”

Nonetheless, the striker was looking forward to the exciting final, saying it will be “unbelievable” to see both the team in action.  Indeed, it was a surprising admission from Mullin, who also talked about winning the FA Cup Golden Ball.

Paul Mullin wins the Golden Ball

While Mullin couldn’t see his favorite side in the final, the player managed to win the Golden Ball. The Wrexham star was very proud to win the award and said it’s “unbelievable”  he even got a chance to win such a prestigious honor. He piped the award from the likes of Riyad Mahrez and Chesterfield’s Armando Dobra, who scored five and four goals respectively.

Mullin won the award by scoring eight goals in the competition. The striker says he is quite proud of his achievement and tells his son will be able to show off what his dad won. The 28-year-old also says winning the award is “cherry on top,” but insists that the whole season, his focus was on the promotion.
