INSIDE THE 18: New York Red Bulls Kick Off 2019 Season

The New York Red Bulls kick off their 2019 MLS season with a youthful Starting XI.

Taking on Columbus Crew SC at MAPFRE Stadium in Ohio, the Red Bulls will swap all but three players from their previous Starting XI in Scotiabank Concacaf Champions League play.

Head Coach Chris Armas is giving Omir Fernandez his first MLS start, as the Red Bulls Academy product and Homegrown signing makes his first MLS appearance up top.

"We're going after this game, for sure," Armas said. "We understand it will be difficult, but we believe in who we're calling upon today.
