  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    The Wrexham striker feared for his life following the challenge with the United stopper in the summer of 2023 in a pre-season clash. While Mullin recovered from the injury after a few weeks on the sidelines, Bishop, who received a yellow card for the challenge, is no longer at the Red Devils. So what happened to the 6ft 1in keeper?

  • WHO IS NATHAN BISHOP?

    First off, Bishop began his career at Southend United, before attracting the attention of United. The Hillingdon-born player swapped the Shrimpers for the Red Devils on a two-and-a-half-year deal in January 2020 when he was just 20, but he would never make a first-team appearance for the club. Arguably the most telling contribution Bishop, who had a successful loan spell at Mansfield Town in League Two in 2021/22, made at United was his unfortunate collision with Mullin - something he apologised for.

    Less than a week on from that incident, the former England under-20 international signed for Championship side Sunderland on a three-year contract. To date, he has only played once for the north east outfit, with Anthony Patterson the club's first-choice keeper.
