Transfer targets19 Jul 2027

No deal for Mauricio González at that price

DC United offered $8.0M; Minnesota United FC said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.

The dugout19 Jul 2027

Corey Baird 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.

Transfer targets19 Jul 2027

Philadelphia Union tell DC United: Ezekiel Kwame Alladoh is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Market19 Jul 2027

DC United sign Daniel Munie for $2.0M

The paperwork is done: Daniel Munie joins from San Jose Earthquakes in a deal worth $2.0M. Now comes the harder part.

Market19 Jul 2027

DC United say no — this time

The offer from New England Revolution for Alex Bono was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Transfer targets19 Jul 2027

DC United bid $740.0K for Noel Caliskan

The offer went to Real Salt Lake this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Squad19 Jul 2027

Louis Munteanu 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.

Squad19 Jul 2027

A row about effort at DC United

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Silvan Hefti was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Match17 Jul 2027

DC United caught on 88 minutes

The board was up, the win was priced in, and then FC Cincinnati scored. There is no worse minute to concede in and the ground emptied in the silence that follows one.

Match29 May 2027

The wait goes on for DC United

4 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Squad31 May 2027

Tempers go at DC United

Louis Munteanu 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.

Squad31 May 2027

Tai Baribo 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.

Squad31 May 2027

Alex Bono reaches 200 appearances

200 games in the shirt. Nobody sets out to build a record like that; it happens to a certain kind of player at a certain kind of club, and this town knows what it has.

The dugout31 May 2027

The manager makes an example of Daniel Steres

“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.

Match29 May 2027

Tai Baribo rescues a point for DC United

It needed Tai Baribo to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against Chicago Fire, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

The dugout31 May 2027

Brandon Sargent on the point

“A point is a point and I will take it, but we should have had all three.” Brandon Sargent after the 1‑1 draw, and the sentence every manager in the country said at some stage this weekend.

The dugout31 May 2027

DC United pick somebody else ahead of Hosei Kijima

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

The dugout31 May 2027

Corey Baird has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at DC United 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.

Squad3 May 2027

Kye Rowles breaks a bone — 39 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 39 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market3 May 2027

DC United turn down Minnesota United FC for Sean Nealis

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad3 May 2027

Sean Johnson keeps DC United in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Squad3 May 2027

Tempers go at DC United

Louis Munteanu 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.

Squad3 May 2027

Words at DC United training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Silvan Hefti 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.

Match1 May 2027

Another one collected away from home

3 on the bounce on the road for DC United. The coaches leave early, arrive at unlovely grounds in the dark, and keep coming home with three points.

Match1 May 2027

DC United find a way past Atlanta United FC

Atlanta United FC made DC United work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Player ratings3 May 2027

A defender's afternoon for Sean Nealis

Defensive actions: 16. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.

The dugout3 May 2027

Brandon Sargent: “That is the standard”

“That is what I want every week. Not the result, the way they went about it.” The manager, after 1‑0, already talking about the next one.

From our football correspondent Steady

The dugout8 Feb 2027

Kye Rowles 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.

Market8 Feb 2027

DC United turn down Peterborough United for Jacob Murrell

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad8 Feb 2027

Words at DC United training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Silvan Hefti 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.

Squad8 Feb 2027

DC United count the cost of losing Daniel Steres

43 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Market8 Feb 2027

Paul Brooks steps up from the DC United academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Paul Brooks has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market8 Feb 2027

DC United promote Alex Dempsey from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Alex Dempsey has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Squad8 Feb 2027

A falling-out at DC United

Justin Rasmussen and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

The dugout8 Feb 2027

Corey Baird has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at DC United 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.

Market8 Feb 2027

The Tai Baribo 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.
