Scouting Report: What Did MNUFC Get With Thomás Chacón?

Sometimes it’s difficult to come up with the easiest comparison player when Minnesota United signs someone. When the team signed Jan Gregus, you couldn’t really compare him to Rasmus Schuller: Gregus’s top evident skill was an eye for progressive passes that differed from the Finn’s industrial approach to the #8 slot. Robin Lod threads passes and little else, unlike an overloading supporter like Miguel Ibarra or a counter-runner like Romario Ibarra. Thankfully, this scouting report is a little easier to relate, as the latest player to join the Loons, Uruguay under-20 international Thomás Chacón, projects—emphasis on project—into a more familiar mold.
