A collision between Bishop and Mullin left the latter in hospital with a punctured lung.

Bishop, who was booked for the incident, received boos from the crowd for the rest of the half before being substituted at half-time.

He later issued an apology for causing the injury, although Wrexham boss Phil Parkinson reacted angrily after the match.

Parkinson called Bishop “clumsy” and “reckless” in his post-match interview, much to the dismay of United staff.

However, the matter is now considered closed and Reynolds has even contacted Bishop himself.

According to the Daily Mail, Reynolds contacted Bishop to praise him for how he handled the aftermath of the collision.

Mullin, who was hospitalised as a result, has since been discharged and re-joined his team-mates.

The striker also received a message from Reynolds, who took to Twitter after the match.

He wrote: “Paul Mullin puts his last drop of blood into everything he does. The entire @Wrexham_AFC community is pulling for a speedy recovery.”

As for Bishop, who has also contacted Mullin to apologise, he is set for a permanent move away from Old Trafford.

After appearing for the Red Devils during their tour of the USA, the 23-year-old is set to join Championship side Sunderland.
