According to an email from MLS and an announcement from Minnesota United, Abu Danladi has been named as one of the 3 finalists for MLS AT&T Rookie of the Year award.
Danladi impressed in his rookie season, tallying the most goals for all league rookies with 8. Half of Danladi’s goals this season (4) were game-winners, enough to lead all rookies and Minnesota United in that statistic. The striker was also credited with 3 assists on the season. Danladi’s game-winning goal over Montreal Impact is also up for Goal of the Year, and you can vote on that here.
