The Union return to action in February for the start of the 2022 MLS season. This season ended on a sad note due to uncontrollable circumstances, but the Union look to have another incredible roster that can compete for the MLS Cup in 2022. The club won’t forget how this season ended, and I’m sure they will use it as motivation to go on a crazy run. Until then Union fans, enjoy the holidays and prepare for a great upcoming season. DOOP.
