The former United midfielder gave details about his time in the District in an email exchange with Black and Red United
Markus Halsti joined D.C. United back in January 2015 as the team’s marquee offseason acquisition. United were coming in on the heels of a successful 2014, when they finished first in the Eastern Conference, but were knocked out of the playoffs by the New York Red Bulls. The core of the team, which was solidified leading up to the 2014 season, remained intact, with Halsti brought in from Swedish powerhouse Malmö FF to compete for time in central midfield with Davy Arnaud and Perry Kitchen.
