Ahead of MNUFC’s match this Saturday against the Houston Dynamo, Minnesota United has announced it has loaned defender Joe Greenspan to the Pittsburgh Riverhounds of the USL. MLS has entered into 2017 Standard USL Loan Agreement for Greenspan. This agreement contains a right of recall for MLS, which enables Greenspan to play for a USL club and a MLS club throughout the duration of the loan period (through end of 2017), subject to roster rules and compliance. Greenspan is expected to rejoin MNUFC in May.
Greenspan was acquired in December in a trade that sent Minnesota United’s third-round pick in the 2017 MLS SuperDraft to the Colorado Rapids in exchange for the 6’6” center back.
