Minnesota United Officially Signs First Designated Player

It may have been one of the worst kept secrets ever, but Darwin Quintero is now Minnesota United’s first-ever designated player.

The Colombian attacker arrived in Minneapolis from Club America on Wednesday night, where he was warmly welcomed by a collection of fans and media members who were made well aware of his “alleged” flight.

“Darwin makes this club better,” said MNUFC Sporting Director Manny Lagos in a press release. “As we continue to grow and develop our roster and build on our core pieces from last year, we have just added an explosive player who can change the game in an instant.
