Medunjanin won garnering more than 30 percent of the vote among the six finalists, showing just how quickly he became a fan favorite.

Medunjanin's 2017 season was his first for the Union, but he quickly became one of the most important players on the squad. His ability to pass from his holding midfield position was unrivaled on the team, and became a major part of the Union offense and defense.

In 2017, Medunjanin assisted on 12 of the Union's 50 goals, the most assists ever by a Union newcomer and the second most in a single season by any Union player.
