Minnesota United FC opened their 2022 MLS campaign on Saturday afternoon in the first league match of the season, when they traveled to Chester, PA to face Philadelphia Union. After a bitter end to the 2021 season with a playoff loss to Portland Timbers last November the Loons looked to have a better start to this season. While they did not win their opening match, MNUFC did play as expected, even though they are dealing with a depleted roster.
Adrian Heath had to make an improvised Starting XI for the season opener as Abu Danladi, Chase Gasper, Romain Metanire and Wil Trapp are all currently dealing with injuries.
