WILMINGTON, Del. — The best word Philadelphia Union manager Jim Curtin uses to describe Ilsinho is unique.
On Friday, the club announced it re-signed the 34-year-old Brazilian playmaker for the 2020 Major League Soccer campaign. It will be his fifth season with the Eastern Conference side that he has produced 19 goals and 17 assists for.
“He’s probably the most unique player in MLS,” Curtin said after Friday’s training. “He’s coming off a season in 2019 where he won us a lot of games and a lot of points. In terms of a guy that changes the way a team defends you, he is probably the most impactful player our league has.
