Michael Boxall: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Minnesota United FC have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Drake Callender 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.

Player ratings30 Aug 2027

Joaquín Pereyra runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 20. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad30 Aug 2027

Kyle Duncan 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.

Squad30 Aug 2027

The manager makes an example of Tomás Chancalay

“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.

Loan watch30 Aug 2027

Mamadou Dieng counts the days

“I watch every Minnesota United FC game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Atlas runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

Matúš Kmeť hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Minnesota United FC can pretend not to have heard.

10 seasons of Michael Boxall

445 appearances across 10 seasons in these colours. Careers like that are not built any more, and Minnesota United FC know what they have.

D.J. Taylor keeps the receipts

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

Words at Minnesota United FC training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Nectar Triantis 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.

Joaquín Pereyra runs at them all day

The terraces2 Aug 2027

The crowd has taken to Gleyfer Medina

At 22 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Match31 Jul 2027

Minnesota United FC get the job done against Los Angeles Football Club

A 1‑0 win over Los Angeles Football Club, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Market2 Aug 2027

Tommy Thompson is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Minnesota United FC has been clear about where Tommy Thompson stands, which is more than many ever get.

Squad1 Feb 2027

A knee injury of the worst kind for Julian Gressel

23 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Minnesota United FC lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market1 Feb 2027

Tomás Chancalay wants European nights

The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.

Squad1 Feb 2027

Tempers go at Minnesota United FC

Kyle Duncan 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.
