Union's youth academy prospects get U.S. national team vote of confidence

With a little more than two weeks until the start of preseason training camp, the Union still haven’t made any major offseason moves. A striker from their minor-league USL affiliate in Bethlehem has been their only “new” signing. There haven’t even been many rumors to keep the hot stove burning.

This story won’t fix that. It won’t bring the Union a marquee playmaker or winger, and it won’t help the team overtake rivals that made the playoffs in 2017. But it might bring reason to believe the team is doing something right when it comes to the long term.
