2021 Minnesota United Tactical Preview

It isn’t too long before the 2021 MLS season kicks off, and this year the Loons might have some more tactical wrinkles then in years past. That doesn’t mean we won’t see them in their traditional “1-4-2-3-1” shape with a double pivot in midfield, an advanced 10, and aggressive overlapping fullbacks. What it does mean is this 2021 roster has the most tactical flexibility we have seen since MNUFC joined MLS. That flexibility is, in part, due to two players. How and when Heath chooses to utilizes these players determine this teams ceiling, as well as it floor.

Emmanuel Reynoso

Shocker I know, but Emmanuel Reynoso’s ability allows this team to do a lot of different things in terms of positions when in possession in different phases of the game.
