Market22 Dec 2031

Nico Hansen is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at DC United is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad22 Dec 2031

Juan Mosquera in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at DC United this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout22 Dec 2031

John Nelson knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and John Nelson trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

The dugout22 Dec 2031

Ajani Fortune gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Ajani Fortune is on it.

Market22 Dec 2031

Eddy Davis linked with a move away

The name of Eddy Davis keeps appearing in other people's back pages. DC United say nothing, which says plenty.

The dugout22 Dec 2031

Thomas Hasal has been promised minutes

A conversation in the manager’s office, and a commitment that came out of it. Promises like that are cheap to make and expensive to break, and Thomas Hasal has written the date down.

Match27 Sep 2031

6 matches without a win for DC United

The run now stands at 6, and the questions being asked around DC United are no longer polite ones.

Squad29 Sep 2031

A one-man rearguard from Thomas Hasal

There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

The dugout29 Sep 2031

Santiago Delgadillo keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” DC United may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad29 Sep 2031

Tempers go at DC United

Jack Harrison was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match27 Sep 2031

DC United come up short against Columbus Crew

Columbus Crew left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad29 Sep 2031

A muscle injury and 15 days out for Luca Wright

The most common injury in the game and the most rushed back from. DC United will quote 15 days and will be careful with it, because the second one is always worse than the first.

The dugout29 Sep 2031

The manager’s verdict

“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 1‑2 Interim Coach left the room before anybody could ask which.

Player ratings29 Sep 2031

Ian Smith will replay that one

1 error, one goal, and a night in front of the same three seconds. He will see it tonight, tomorrow and probably in February, and everybody who has played knows exactly which frame he keeps stopping on.

The dugout29 Sep 2031

Abdallah Hassan gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Tempers go at DC United

Jack Harrison was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Market30 Dec 2030

Eddy Davis comes back from a loan that worked

23 appearances and 6 goals away from here, and a player the manager did not have in August. Loans are sent out hoping for exactly this and most of them do not deliver it.

The dugout30 Dec 2030

When it matters, Elijah Wynder plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Market30 Dec 2030

The Louis Munteanu talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. DC United know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Market30 Dec 2030

DC United put Máximo Carrizo up for sale

The list is a quiet document with a loud meaning. Máximo Carrizo may talk to anybody who asks, and everybody at the club understands what that means.

Squad30 Dec 2030

The penny has dropped for Eddy Davis

He looks like a man who lives here now rather than one who is working here. It took most of a season, and at DC United the difference is visible from the back of the stand.
