We talked to Matt Montgomery of RSL Soapbox about Houston's newest defender.
Matt Montgomery, the managing editor of RSL Soapbox, was all over the trade between Real Salt Lake and the Houston Dynamo. If you missed it, Houston traded a MLS SuperDraft pick to Real Salt Lake for defender Abdoulie Mansally.
So, what's the inside scoop on Mansally? Here's what Matt had to say.
Abdoulie Mansally is a 27-year-old left back, so he's conceivably nearing the prime of his career. But in spite of that, he's remained Real Salt Lake's backup at the position for three-and-a-half years, making this an ideal time for him to move on â it could present a strong opportunity for him to stake a claim for a starting position elsewhere.
