The New York Red Bulls gave Fredrik Gulbrandsen about the biggest vote of confidence a player can hope for when joining a new club: he was on the pitch in a competitive game inside his first 24 hours with the team. And the Norwegian looks to be on the fast track to at least trying to nail down a place as a first-team starter. His head coach at RBNY, Jesse Marsch, has said Gulbrandsen is being considered for a start in just the second game the Red Bulls have played since his arrival in the USA, against Seattle Sounders on March 19.
