Mission
Upon the establishment of the Reserve team in 2013, the head coach of the Minnesota United FC main team, Manny Lagos, clearly stressed that the primary mission of forming the new team would be building a stronger foundation for and raising competitiveness within the first team: "We want to continue to grow the vision of what the club can be. Having a Reserve team is a big piece of developing potential local players but also keep the first team competitive. When you have something like this it can grow into a lot of different areas but it’s really about building this club the right way so we can be strong and have a great culture for the future," Manny said.
