Philadelphia Union head coach Jim Curtin noted during his weekly press conference on Wednesday how much younger the squad has gotten during his tenure as head coach.
“My math might be off by a little bit but I think we’ve come down almost three years in our team’s age, which is a significant drop, for sure, but that’s what we are,” he said.

Findlay signing keeps three-center back rotation intact for Philadelphia Union
Jim Curtin has relied on a three-back rotation dating back to Mark McKenzie’s rookie season

A three-center back rotation has been one of the key features of the Philadelphia Union back line over the past three seasons, something the signing of Scottish international Stuart Findlay appears to be continuing in 2021.
The 25-year-old left-footed center back joins a center back corps that includes Jack Elliott and Jakob Glesnes. While he’s not a like-for-like replacement for Mark McKenzie, he will be wearing the same No. 4 jersey and given the resources to get him (reportedly as much as $300k for a player whose contract is expiring in June) and his international tag, it’s a good bet that he’ll slot in as the starting left center back.

News has been slow moving this offseason for the Philadelphia Union but it hasn’t been insignificant.
Moves like trading away homegrown rights for Kalil ElMedkhar and Tomas Romero, sending draft picks to Nashville SC coupled with the transfers of homegrown stars Brenden Aaronson and Mark McKenzie have once again armed Sporting Director Ernst Tanner and Technical Director Chris Albright with a war chest to go after players to strengthen the squad.
Last year the number was somewhere around $1.6 million in allocation money (on top of what the league gives to each team) collected through deals that helped paved the way for the acquisitions of regular starters Jamiro Monteiro (permanent transfer), Jose Martinez, Jakob Glesnes and Matej Oravec.
