Watch Ryan Reynolds hangs up on Sir Alex Ferguson in video call with the Manchester United legend

Sir Alex Ferguson joined forces with Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney to announce a pre-season friendly match between Manchester United and Wrexham.

The legendary football manager “intimidated” the Hollywood stars as they shared an awkward video call, which was then posted to Twitter.

Before the call begins, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia star Rob McElhenney claims Sir Alex is the ‘greatest football manager of all time’ before Reynolds says he’s ‘super nervous’ and warns that Sir Alex is a ‘master intimidator’.

When Sir Alex eventually answers, the duo attempt to speak to Sir Alex, but all that greets them is a blank and stern stare.

The Wrexham co-owners speak at Sir Alex - who isn’t responding to anything they’re saying - before Reynolds panics and hangs up.

In the end though, it transpires that the pair were on mute and the former Man United boss “couldn’t hear a thing”.

The two teams will play on 25 July in San Diego and it will be Wrexham’s first-ever game in the United States.
