The club has announced its roster decisions following the conclusion of the 2024 season. To all the departing players who wore the Black & Blue, thank you 🩵

Once a Loon, always a Loon.

Armchair Analyst: Minnesota United gave their fans lots of reasons for optimism heading into next year.

But if you're thinking trophies... mind the gap.

Not how anyone drew it up certainly. But without knowing the future, it's very easy to look forward with optimism. This is a team that is full of talent. The front office and coaching pieces are in place. Plenty to be excited about moving forward from here. #MNUFC

[Fifty Five One @FiftyFiveOne]

A weird season for #MNUFC. Thanks to the league's disastrous schedule, it really felt like a couple separate seasons. Moving on from the Heath Era took some fits and starts.

But the Loons were competitive, they were exciting, and they were still playing almost at Thanksgiving.

[Minnesota United FC @MNUFC]

Final.

[Fifty Five One @FiftyFiveOne]

Yet again a ball over the top just totally undoes the #MNUFC defense. #LAGvMIN

[Fifty Five One @FiftyFiveOne]

GOAL Galaxy. Exclamation point. #LAGvMIN

[Fifty Five One @FiftyFiveOne]

You gotta take your hat off to the Galaxy, they've been spectacular. #LAGvMIN

[Fifty Five One @FiftyFiveOne]

GOAL Galaxy. Yet again they find a run in behind, this time from Paintsil. He's only got St. Clair to beat and finds the far post easily. #LAGvMIN

[Fifty Five One @FiftyFiveOne]

RED to Jefferson Diaz after he picks up a second yellow for a flailing arm up near the face. Capstone to a dire night for the #MNUFC defense. #LAGvMIN

[East Coast Dark Clouds @ecdcmnufc]

Hell yeah, Dayne.

[Fifty Five One @FiftyFiveOne]

BALL DON'T LIE. ST. CLAIR SAVES. #LAGvMIN

[Fifty Five One @FiftyFiveOne]

PENALTY to the Galaxy. Uff da. #LAGvMIN

[Fifty Five One @FiftyFiveOne]

That's a huge dive. Good grief. #LAGvMIN

Galaxy are totally comfortable here playing the possession game. They can do this all night. #LAGvMIN

Gabriel Pec dribbled over half the field and then picked out the far post, that's just a beauty, but in retrospect someone should've just hauled him down. #LAGvMIN

[Fifty Five One @FiftyFiveOne]

GOAL Galaxy. #MNUFC just cannot stop this attack. That's a dagger. #LAGvMIN

[Fifty Five One @FiftyFiveOne]

HT. Fun one for the neutrals. But #MNUFC's vaunted defense was carved apart in that first half. They need to figure out how to keep the Galaxy out of dangerous areas... and get one or two more.

A challenging task but not insurmountable. #LAGvMIN
