Photo by David Berding/Getty ImagesOn Saturday Minnesota United (2-4-0, 12th in the Western Conference) travels to Sandy, UT to take on Real Salt Lake (2-1-2, 8th in the Western Conference). It would be easy to figure the game as a tale of two teams moving in different directions.
After their historically bad start the Loons head to Rio Tinto Stadium on a two-game win streak while Real, after winning their first two have since gone without a win in their last three. Even as Minnesota remains near the bottom of the table, with three points on Saturday they could head into the international break feeling like they have earned a fresh start.
