Squad

Words at Minnesota United FC training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Nicolás Romero is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

The dugout

No hiding place for Kelvin Yeboah

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Kelvin Yeboah, and the manager let it.

Squad

D.J. Taylor signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” D.J. Taylor and Minnesota United FC agree another 4 years.

Market

Minnesota United FC and Nicolás Romero are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Squad

AZ Jackson 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 Minnesota United FC this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

A promotion for Kyle Duncan

Not a new contract, not a new number: a new place in the manager’s thinking, which is the only promotion in football that actually matters. Kyle Duncan has moved up it.

So close: Tomás Chancalay’s move dies late

The fee was agreed and the flight was looked at — and then the phone stopped ringing. Girona moved on, Tomás Chancalay reports back to Minnesota United FC, and everybody pretends Monday is just Monday.

Morris Duggan is on his way

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

Squad

Nicolás Romero falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Market

Talks stall between Minnesota United FC and Nicolás Romero

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Squad

Tempers go at Minnesota United FC

Morris Duggan 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.

Squad

Kyle Duncan is no longer first choice

The manager has re-ordered his thinking and Kyle Duncan has come out of it lower. He will be told it is temporary, and the players who have heard that before will avoid his eye.

Squad

Jefferson Díaz named in the team of the month

A month is long enough that nobody gets in by accident. Jefferson Díaz is in the division's best eleven for it, which is a quieter compliment than an award and a more reliable one.

The dugout

Mauricio González has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Minnesota United FC will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Drake Callender linked with a move away

The name of Drake Callender keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Minnesota United FC say nothing, which says plenty.
