Here is a look at three key story lines for Minnesota United heading into their match against Real Salt Lake this weekend.
The Central Defense
With Costa Rican Francisco Calvo back from international duty with the Ticos, he’ll almost certainly start, but who will start next to him? Brent Kallman has certainly earned a look with his performance over the past two weeks, but Adrian Heath has several options here.
He could either give Vadim Demidov another chance, or he could play Jermaine Taylor in his preferred position which, shockingly, is not right back. Another option is Joe Greenspan, who’s reportedly back from his concussion.
