Taking his shots: Aaronson embodies Union philosophy

Make no mistake: With less than two years of pro soccer under his belt and his 20th birthday still ahead of him (though only just ahead), Brenden Aaronson is not the finished article. In fact, he’s so far from the finished article that it’s still hard to tell what that will be. Is he a hyperactive shuttler finding his feet in the final third and graduating to full-blown playmaker? Perhaps the hardest working box-to-box midfielder in the squad, destined to make the analytics community drool with ability to move the ball through zones and press for 90 minutes at a clip.
