D.C. United is betting big on Patrick Mullins following Fabian Espindola's departure

Let's take a good look at whether United's big move yesterday was the right one

Every MLS team entered the current transfer window with some kind of need to address, but few had a more obvious problem than D.C. United. The Black-and-Red are within a point of a playoff spot, but it's more or less entirely down to their ability to defend as a team. United has conceded the third-lowest goal total in MLS, but are still a point outside the playoff spots in the East because they have scored just 18 goals in 19 games.
