For FC Dallas and Thomas Roberts, the future is now

FCD/FC Dallas

Thomas Roberts of FC Dallas.

A legendary saying coined by a legendary manager, Sir Matt Busby. A saying that has such massive weight with the newest version of FC Dallas.

Under first-year Coach Luchi Gonzalez, FC Dallas has embraced a build from within, youth-driven policy. Leading Major League Soccer in Academy product minutes.

Playing young players is one thing, starting a just barely 18-year-old Thomas Roberts as your #10 - a position that is part quarterback, part point guard - is something else. And that's where the Busby quote comes in.
