This morning, D.C. United announced their end-of-year roster decisions, making a variety of moves that include exercising contract options on regular starters like Andy Najar and Donovan Pines, as well as announcing that veteran attackers Yamil Asad and Yordy Reyna are among the departures.
United exercised club-held 2022 contract options for Andy Najar, Donovan Pines, Adrien Perez, Tony Alfaro, Drew Skundrich, and Kimarni Smith. While Najar, Pines, Skundrich, and Perez all battled injuries, they and Alfaro regularly appeared in games when healthy. Smith only ended up with three appearances with United, but played in 17 games (15 starts) for Loudoun United at the USL Championship level.
