MARIETTA, GA. — Few MLS teams have embraced the “play your kids” mindset quite like the Philadelphia Union.
And so it’s no surprise the club has four players participating in the 2018 MLS Homegrown Game presented by Energizer (Tuesday, 8 pm ET | UDN, Twitter) — defenders Mark McKenzie, Auston Trusty and Matthew Real, as well as midfielder Anthony Fontana. No other MLS team has more than two Homegrown selections.
All of the Philly Homegrowns have earned meaningful MLS regular season playing time this year, and Trusty is the only field player on the team to have played every minute of every game.
