🚨 2026 In-Season Depth Chart 🚨 #MNUFC #MinnesotaUnited

@dunord I have no major gripe with him, but he's just a very average player. I'd prefer him to be the #2 RB/RWB. I also think the team sees him as a temporary option, since we only offered him a 1-year deal after the Cherrion Valerius move fell through.

@EverythingMNUFC What's wrong with Duncan?

I really believe Knowles wants to play with a back-4, so the positions I've targeted for new transfers aim to fill some of the gaps I think we have... My perspective could shift, particularly if players are sold, but here's currently what I'm thinking: #MNUFC

@mnufcnews Do you think that's more of a coaching or roster issue?

@EverythingMNUFC Personally would love for him to return to a back 4, but feels this team is not suited to play in that system

@FerneliusHunter @WillCarp20 KEA highly rates him. He said this when Tani left: He can definitely be a frustrating player to watch at times, but I imagine the FO is happy with their striker who has 0.60 goals per game. But who knows if this latest suspension will change anything...

@WillCarp20 @EverythingMNUFC I pray it’s this window

@ry_anderson4 I believe he used a back 4 during his entire stint with the 2s. When he took over for 3 games before Ramsay arrived they played a back 4, and he stuck with a back 4 for the entire 2026 pre-season and the first few games.

@EverythingMNUFC What makes you think Knowles wants to play a back 4?

The first (and maybe last?) time we've seen Fitz this season. A clip of his 8 minutes vs. RSL: #MNUFC

⚽️ Goals per 90: 1.20 (26th in MLS) 🎯 Goals vs xG: -5.09 (Last in MLS) What needs to change in our attack? A few new signings (position/profile?), style/identity change, a change in formation... something else? #MNUFC

@EricLangmaack Yup! When I put the new one out tomorrow he will now be above Randell.

@EverythingMNUFC Wouldn’t caldeira jump up a spot?

Re-watching the game and I feel like Boxall was quite lucky the striker didn't go down on that shoulder pull - could have seen red… #MNUFC

A cascade of problems, what I saw: 🟥 Pereyra seemed a little slow to shift over to apply ball pressure & cover-shadow to the player Duncan feels the need to step up on. 🟥 Duncan unnecessarily jumps, it's probably Gene's guy to take care of(?) 🟥 Gene points to the open man due to Duncan stepping up, but both Diaz & Boxall are occupied with the two strikers. 🟥 Diaz leaves way too much space on his marker, allowing an easy collect, turn & pass with no pressure. 🟥 Markanich's desperate lunge takes him out of the play. #MNUFC

I think I see Adrian Honou up in the field club with the Lagos family. Probably wrong, but if true, can he start striker tonight?? #mnufc

@andygreder So he's 100% not under contract through June? Thank you, all I was curious about.

@EverythingMNUFC what article? a post from the club? I technically consider him a free agent, but again, latch on if ya want!

Note: Things are looking up for Carlos Harvey. The #MNUFC center back is coming back from his leg injury and is expected to be named to Panama’s team for the World Cup. Context: With Michael Boxall with New Zealand, that will give #Loons two current players in the tournament.

Boxall also touching on Cam's concerns: "Organized when we're pressing..." "That one time we get beat, it doesn't create a domino effect..." #MNUFC 📹 @KSTP

@andygreder Later in the article it says, "His contract lasts through June with an option through December." I don't think anyone believes he is coming back. I was just asking if he will technically be a Loon in June/during World Cup.

@EverythingMNUFC the club said May 13 it “released” James for the World Cup. my understanding is he is not coming back for rest of MLS season. but include him for fun, if you want

If Yeboah is out tomorrow with an 'internal matter', who's everyone got for the #9 spot? (Type in an answer if not any of these...) #MNUFC

"Guys get left on an island" Cam talked about how there were moments when the team wasn't on the same page regarding our press/counter-press. Here are two examples he might be referring to: 🎥 @MNUFC #MNUFC

If any of the new buildings under construction get this tall and overlook Allianz, I’m 100% bribing a janitor to set up a tactical cam. 😄 #MNUFC
