After enjoying their best year yet in MLS, Minnesota United are hoping for more of the same in the future.


According to The Athletic's Jeff Rueter, the Loons and head coach Adrian Heath have agreed to a new multi-year contract with a club option in 2022. Heath guided Minnesota to a club-record 53 points and their first-ever Audi MLS Cup Playoffs appearance. 

The offseason has been a slow one by way of additions for Minnesota, who have only acquired midfielder Marlon Hairston in the deal that sent Darwin Quintero to the Houston Dynamo. The club have yet to agree a return for 2019 Goalkeeper of the Year Vito Mannone as the latest reports suggest that a deal isn't close. The club are reportedly in talks with former England international Joe Hart


After last season, the club reshuffled the front office as Mark Watson became sporting director and Manny Lagos chief soccer officer. It reportedly saw Heath given more say over player personnel.
