Outside the Box: Michael Boxall Player Profile

Michael Boxall has slowly become a rock in the back line of Minnesota United’s poor defense; and its finally paying off.

Somehow Boxall has always been overshadowed, despite his experience in both club and international play. Minnesota received Michael Boxall through a free transfer in July of 2017. The team was a defensive nightmare in its inaugural season. In July of 2017 before Michael Boxall ventured north, United had only won 5 out of its 19 games. The Loons also had over 40 goals scored against their sadly depleted defense.

It would be a laugh to say that Boxall turned the season around, because after all, he just plain didn’t.
