After a week of speculation, Minnesota United finally filled the lone spot in its lineup without a returning or expected starter on Friday: Romain Metanire signed a TAM-level deal via transfer from Ligue 1 side Stade de Reims. Born and raised in France, the right back, who turns 29 in March, spent all but one year of his pro career between Reims and FC Metz in his home country, with a brief spell at Belgian side Kortrijk. He also recently emerged as the starting full back for the Madagascar national team, and is a recent veteran of a league-dominating Ligue 2 champion, where Reims allowed just 24 goals—tied for the fewest allowed for a season in the division in over a decade.
