GOLDEN VALLEY, Minn. – Minnesota United announced today the club has re-signed attacking midfielder Emanuel Reynoso to a three-year Designated Player contract, plus a club option, starting in 2023.
“Well he’s an integral part of everything we are trying to do here. We’ve always said we have one of the best players in the league and for him to commit, which for me are his main years of his career, to the club speaks volumes for what we are trying to do,” said Head Coach Adrian Heath. “But more importantly, he gives us a real integral piece of what we hope will be a real successful future because he will be a huge part of that.
