When Miguel Ibarra was announced in a press conference with close friend Christian Ramirez as Minnesota’s two newest MLS signings back in February, Minnesota fans were elated. Ibarra starred for Minnesota’s NASL team, and became a fan favorite, before moving to Liga MX side Club Leon, where he struggled for playing time.

Now the question is, what should Minnesota do with Ibarra now that he’s not a starter?
