D.C. United, looking to build on slow but sure recent improvement under interim coach Chad Ashton, is on the road this afternoon against Atlanta United. The Black-and-Red broke a nine-game winless run last weekend, and they’ll want to show that their last two games were not just a temporary uptick in form. They’ll also be hoping to set the record straight against Atlanta, who came to Buzzard Point three weeks ago and handed United their worst loss of a season full of rough nights at the office.
