The Union will keep midfielder Haris Medunjanin on the team for another season after picking up his contract option for 2019 on Thursday.
Medunjanin, 33, has earned a place as one of the Union’s core players. He is one of the team’s best passers, able to send the ball almost anywhere on the field from his deep-lying central midfield position. And he has a strong partnership with Alejandro Bedoya, whose defensive hustle allows Medunjanin the room to see the game and pick out teammates.
“Haris Medunjanin is an integral part of our team, both on the field and in the locker room,” Union sporting director Earnie Stewart said in a statement.
