Minnesota transplant turned lifer.
Playing in Miami does put him more in the spotlight, which is probably what he wants considering English Championship clubs were interested. Seems like Miami is just a stepping stone. I’m in pain, but I hope it works out for him.

Final news story: Dayne St. Clair went into free agency to maximize his leverage. #MNUFC was ready to make him a top-five highest-paid goalie in #MLS, but the Canadian opted for a smaller deal to play at Inter Miami and with Leo Messi.

It would be interesting for Poch to call up his best, healthiest players to play soccer for the USMNT in their second-to-last window before the 2026 World Cup roster is named.
Poch re leaving out Wes McKennie so he can keep his place at Juventus under Spalletti:

"It's important for Weston to be there and try to convince the [new] coaches, 'keep me playing.' I think it's more important than maybe being with us, no? Because we already know what he can provide the team"

Wrote something a little different during the break that I hope MLS PR considers, as national outlets keep decreasing coverage and now AI content is replacing writers. Someone had to say something before media access just gets worse. (Free post) www.patreon.com/posts/141166...

The first #MNUFC match I went to was last season’s opener against Columbus when Tani scored a last minute goal. That game rekindled my interest in MLS and catapulted the Loons to #1 in my teams-I-care-about power rankings.
You're a Loon for life, Tani ⏰

Good news for Cherries fans. Looks like Justin Kluivert is about to come on. #AFCB

Very excited to see Amine Adli’s #AFCB debut!

Tyler Adams shown yellow after giving a little extra after the whistle to Joao Gomez after they were tangled up. Tyler Adams doing Tyler Adams things. I love him. #AFCB #USMNT

I do enjoy supporting the “punching bag” team, like Spurs. Then I see success as sweet revenge for all the jokes.
August 23, 2025 at 1:13 PM
After watching this game, I think I’m a Spurs fan? Been searching for a premier league team to support. Love how they’re stepping aggressively and pressing up 2 goals.

Antoine Semenyo doing his best Michael Boxall expression with the long throw!

I absolutely love watching Tyler Adams play. Antoine Semenyo is up there, too.

🇺🇸 Sources: Minnesota United and wingback Anthony Markanich in talks over a new contract... but not close yet. Contract up at end of season.

➕ One Belgian club has already offered pre-contract for January. Multiple MLS clubs will be interested if he gets to free agency.

Ope. Nvm. #MNUFC
Clarification: Serbian attacking mid Dejan Zukic is NOT a major target for #MNUFC in transfer window, the Pioneer Press has learned. #Loons were interested in him weeks ago, but talks didn't reach into transfer fees.

Context: United is pursuing new players, but they haven't yet come to light.
July 30, 2025 at 3:31 PM
We have a rumor! The club is rumored to be willing to pay a record fee for Serbian international Dejan Zukic who currently plays for Wolfsberger in the Austrian Bundesliga. Zukic’s profile appears to be similar to Robin Lod. #MNUFC #MLS

I’m in dire need of some #MNUFC transfer rumors.

Really wish this was a #MNUFC signing 🥴
🇨🇴🔴⚫️ Sources: Atlanta United finalizing deal to sign Colombian midfielder Steven Alzate from Hull City.

Deal around $2.5m. Personal terms agreed now.

Alzate, 26, has 7 caps with Colombia.

This team looks helpless without Lod or Pereyra in the midfield. I thought Rosales and Harvey would be enough against St. Louis, but yikes. #MNUFC
July 27, 2025 at 1:32 AM
Yikes. Watching this team with a lead is torture. #MNUFC
Now -7 from the 70th minute onwards, 13 points dropped from leading positions.

Possession when leading: 32.9%
Field Tilt: 28%

Minnesota United became the most aggressive set-piece team on the planet with old-fashioned tactics backed by new analytics — and now they can’t stop scoring from it.
