Justen Glad and Corey Baird were named to the January camp of the United States Men’s National Soccer Team, Real Salt Lake announced Thursday.
It is the first selection to the camp for Baird, who won the Rookie of the Year Award this past season. Glad will make his second consecutive appearance at the camp.
USMNT coach Gregg Berhalter said in a conference call with reporters that he selected Baird to the camp because he liked what he saw in the rookie’s first MLS season.
“I really liked his off-the-ball movement, I liked his aggressiveness of attacking space, I liked how he was able to finish opportunities off ball,” Berhalter said.
