The New York Red Bulls’ first day of pre-season provided fans with fresh opportunity for a favorite game: scouring the team’s photos for any new faces.
Cristian Casseres was spotted quickly. The Venezuela youth international is expected to be officially signed as soon as RBNY gets round to issuing an announcement.
Typically, this sort of photo-scouting exercise turns up two categories of player: expected and unknown. In this instance, however, there was one stand-out surprise picked out by the social-media spotters: former Red Bulls Academy full-back Kyle Duncan.
And the club duly issued an official statement, confirming that Duncan was indeed a preseason trialist.
