Four things Minnesota United can try out - without punting on the season
Minnesota United FC is going to try to reach the playoffs until they mathematically can't do so. But they can learn some stuff along the way, too.
I have absolutely no doubt that Minnesota United is not yet giving up on the 2026 season.
There are six games remaining, and the Loons are six points out of a playoff spot, with four teams between them and ninth place. Those are long odds - barely 5% playoff odds, by one estimate - but until they're mathematically eliminated, they're going to be doing everything they can to reach that play-in game.
Which doesn't mean they can't learn anything, between now and whatever their potential elimination date might be. Here are four things they can try out, things that could help them now - and in the future.
