Minnesota United lands Marc Burch and Sam Cronin

The expansion side has landed two MLS veterans to help bolster its squad after a poor start to life in Major League Soccer.

Minnesota United has landed MLS veterans Marc Burch and Sam Cronin through a series of moves on Friday.

Burch and Cronin both join the club from the Colorado Rapids, with the former picked up through a direct trade with the Rapids, while the latter was picked up off waivers after a trade allowed MNUFC to acquire the top spot in the waiver order from the Chicago Fire.

Minnesota gave up its natural third-round selection in the 2019 MLS SuperDraft for the top spot in the waiver order and traded Mohammed Saeid, Josh Gatt and an international roster spot to the Rapids for Burch.
