Orlando City picked up last year’s No. 1 MLS SuperDraft pick Joao Moutinho from LAFC on Dec. 11 in exchange for speedy left back Mohamed El-Munir. The Mane Land reported the impending trade a few days before it happened, but the Portugal native became a Lion the way we expected and the Libyan international fullback packed up and moved to Los Angeles.
Moutinho completed his rookie season in Major League Soccer in 2018. The No. 1 overall pick out of Akron appeared in 14 games (10 starts) in 2018, scoring one goal and attempting seven shots (one on target) in 872 minutes.
