Boardroom8 Nov 2027

Connor Ferreira has until the next board meeting

What was said behind closed doors has now been said in front of a microphone. Everybody at DC United can do the arithmetic, including the man it is aimed at.

Squad8 Nov 2027

The manager makes an example of Brandon Servania

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad8 Nov 2027

Jack Elliott asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Squad1 Nov 2027

At 21, Fabricio Pérez is already the best thing here

An average of 7.03 in a first team he is several years too young for. DC United have something, and by now the whole division has noticed.

Squad1 Nov 2027

Matti Peltola 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.

Market1 Nov 2027

The Gabriel Pirani 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.

The terraces11 Oct 2027

The boos come down from three sides

“We pay for this every fortnight. The least we want is somebody who looks like he cares.” 6 of the 27 senior players walked off into it; the rest were not playing.

Squad11 Oct 2027

Gabriel Pirani is carrying DC United

14 goals and a season average of 7.40. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.

Squad11 Oct 2027

Gabe Segal stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Gabe Segal and DC United agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Match6 Oct 2027

A bad afternoon for DC United against Chicago Fire

1-2 to Chicago Fire, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Boardroom4 Oct 2027

DC United put Connor Ferreira on notice

The board have said in public what they had been saying in private. Results between now and the next meeting decide it, and everybody in the building knows the arithmetic.

Squad4 Oct 2027

Matti Peltola says DC United went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Market4 Oct 2027

Bryan Ramírez wants to know where this is going

“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at DC United hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

Squad4 Oct 2027

Sean Johnson signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Sean Johnson commits to DC United for another 2 years.

Boardroom4 Oct 2027

$6.5M taken back off the DC United table

What was available in the summer has quietly gone. Upstairs nobody will call it a change of ambition; downstairs nobody will call it anything else.

Boardroom4 Oct 2027

DC United were not finished after all

Written off a fortnight ago, the squad has closed ranks and answered on the pitch. Something was said behind that door, and so far it is holding.

Squad4 Jan 2027

Somebody is after Matti Peltola’s shirt

A new face in his position, and Matti Peltola suddenly has to win back what he thought he owned. DC United have promised nothing — clubs rarely do at this stage.

Market4 Jan 2027

DC United pick up D.J. Taylor for nothing

The best deals are the ones the accountants never notice. D.J. Taylor arrives at DC United with his wages the only cost and something to prove the only clause.
