Red Bulls’ title talk won’t be deterred by major shakeup

Apparently the Red Bulls’ motto is if it ain’t broke, break it and make it better. They are banking this pressure-filled season on that kind of thinking.

“I never want to be status quo. I never want to sit on the success we’ve had,’’ coach Jesse Marsch said.

Last month, they traded away captain Dax McCarty just two days after his wedding. Last week, they parted ways with sporting director Ali Curtis despite the best two-year stretch in club history.

That’s how they’re starting a season that’s expected to end with an MLS Cup. But Marsch batted away questions about McCarty or Curtis, including when asked by The Post whether he was barred or forbidden to discuss his former boss.
