D.C. United will meet French giants Olympique Marseille tonight in the Black-and-Red’s second friendly of 2019. United comes into the game off the back of a tiring Thursday-Sunday slate of road games, and will probably lean heavily on players who haven’t gotten much time this year (as well as some Loudoun United call-ups). Marseille, for their part, won the EA Ligue 1 Games mini-tournament held on the same days United was away playing in MLS, and may also field a rotated team to avoid overuse during their preseason

Summer friendlies are not popular among many diehards, but if they do have one undeniable positive, it’s a chance for youngsters to get a game and showcase their potential.
