Freddy Adu has played his final game for the Philadelphia Union.
The Union's biggest name and most expensive player was not on the gameday roster for Saturday's season-ending matchup with the New York Red Bulls at PPL Park. But the matter extends deeper than that. According to multiple sources, the Union's coaching staff intends for Adu to remain off the field for as long as he is on the team's roster.
Although Adu's individual skills remain at a high level, his lack of consistency has frustrated the team and its fans alike since his arrival in Philadelphia last summer.
