Philadelphia Union forward depth already being tested ahead of season opener

After being forced to play with one striker for much of the final stretch of the season and playoffs, the Philadelphia Union went out shopping and brought in two new strikers in Mikael Uhre and Julian Carranza while trading Kacper Przybylko to the Chicago Fire.

The moves — a reported $2.8 million for Uhre and a potentially savvy season long long of Carranza from Inter Miami in exchange for a draft pick — were meant to shore up a front line that failed to find the back of the net in the postseason.

But 9 days away from the season opener against Minnesota United in Chester, the question of forward depth has again surfaced.
