Philadelphia Union 2021: An early look at roster needs and potential moves

“There’s more to come,” Philadelphia Union Sporting Director Ernst Tanner said when addressing the media in his first press conference since the Union’s 2021 roster moves were announced last week.

Tanner gave a positive assessment of the 2020 season, one that included winning the club’s first major trophy in the Supporters’ Shield and earning a future appearance in the Concacaf Champions League. But Tanner also stressed that there is still work to be done.

“It is harder to stay at the top than reach the top.”

The Union finished with a league-best twenty goals against and a goals against average of 0.
