Best of 2019: Beyond the Box: Mano a Mannone

As Minnesota United wraps up 2019, we're looking back at some of our favorite posts from this past season.

Goalkeeping can be a lonely profession.

Look: There’s the rest of the team, down at the other end of the field, linking up, having fun, and there you are, standing by yourself in a colorful shirt, all alone. And when the action does come your way, you usually only get involved when every single other thing has gone wrong, when every safety mechanism has been blown.
