At least according to Craig Stouffer at the Washington Examiner: Midfielder Joe Vide, who was

It's official according to this press release from the team, Vide is now a member of the Black N
Red. Could this be the latest Red Bull New York reject to becomee a good player with United? We
shall see.

released moderately sucks, in that it indicates our lack of depth not just in defense but in the
keeper position as well.
According to this article in the Washington Examiner United looks to bolster their midfield depth
