UNITED AT A GLANCE
2011: Won the 2011 North American Soccer League championship.
2012: Reached the NASL finals but lost two-game, total-goal series to Tampa.
2013: Tied for fifth among seven teams in the Spring Season. Can finish no higher than second in Fall Season.
Looking ahead: Team owner Bill McGuire is funding the $1.4 construction of a 7,500-square-foot training center in Woodbury. It will be built in concert with an already underway $21.8 million expansion of the city's Bielenberg Sports Center, one of the largest sports complexes in the Twin Cities.
