“More than the sum of its parts.” It’s a phrase that gets tossed around a lot for any team that somehow exceeds expectations.

However you want to convey it, it’s there for Minnesota United FC this season, at last, after two seasons that never fully clicked. And not just in terms of black-and-white results on the field. There’s an absolute feel to this team in a way there wasn’t before.
