This weekend was one of the most anticipated in the world of soccer with the start of the Premier League season. With all of the European leagues either having started or preparing to, it’s time to take a look at where former Orlando City players are playing across the Atlantic.
On June 21, 2012, Orlando City promoted the Senegalese midfielder to the first team from the club’s PDL side, Orlando City U-23. Mbengue soon became a regular for Adrian Heath’s USL side, making 64 appearances with 51 starts and scoring eight goals with seven assists. The young star was offered an MLS contract for the club’s inaugural MLS campaign in 2015 but turned it down to return to Senegal.
