Minnesota United kicks off a friendly tonight against the newly promoted Aston Villa.
The game starts at 7:00p and can be streamed through the club’s website.
Aston Villa traveled over the pond and has practiced at the National Sports Center, preparing for a difficult season ahead in the top flight.
Aston Villa finished fifth in the Championship and won the playoff to earn promotion in late May. The team has bolstered its squad, preparing for the higher level of play, with eight signings this offseason, including, most recently, the acquisition of Björn Engels.
For the Loons, this friendly comes in a busy and productive July.
