Minnesota United Chief Soccer Officer Manny Lagos held a Zoom call with academy families on Friday evening, partially addressing the uncertainty surrounding United’s academy but taking no questions in a call that lasted less than 15 minutes.
In a recording of the meeting, Lagos began by talking about the first team’s semifinal performance at the MLS is Back Tournament in Orlando, Fla. Lagos said the team was currently in flight back to Minnesota, and that he “believes” the season will restart on Aug. 22, “probably” without fans at Allianz Field for the beginning.
Lagos indirectly addressed recent reports from E Pluribus Loonum that Minnesota United was planning for a largely “part-time” academy structure.
