McKenzie earns first start with USMNT

The United States Men's National Team Starting XI is out and with it comes news that Philadelphia Union homegrown Mark McKenzie will earn his first start for the Stars and Stripes.

McKenzie is the only member of the Union in Gregg Berhalter's lineup against El Salvador as midfielder Brenden Aaronson starts in the midfield. The matches will be the second cap for each player. The Union duo also learned earlier in the day that both were up for U.S. Soccer's Male Young Player of the Year Award. The match against El Salvador kicks off at 7:30 p.
