Amos Magee Could Be Returning to Minnesota United FC
According to Jeff Carlisle at ESPNFC.com, former Minnesota Thunder coach Amos Magee could be leaving his position with DC United to join old friend Manny Lagos at Minnesota United FC. He’s had a lot of experience in player development at Portland and DC since leaving Minnesota in 2008 and could be key to Minnesota’s MLS plans for player development.

Congrats to both players! Any word on a contract yet for one of the best American born strikers in North America, Minnesota United FC? Hmmm????
Jeb Brovsky has had a setback in his recovery
According to Jeb(!) himself, he’s been in the hospital the past couple days dealing with blood clots in his lungs and legs after surgery. Here’s hoping one of the hardest working player from this past season gets better and we get to see him back on the pitch sometime soon!
Hospitalized the last few days for blood clots in lung/leg post surgery. Scary/rare twist but all will make me stronger and more thankful.????????
