Major League Soccer: Minnesota United Acquires Ramón Ábila
Argentinian Striker Joins Minnesota United
Proven Goalscorer Bolsters Attacking Options
Major League Soccer side Minnesota United has announced the signing of Ramón Wanchope Ábila from Boca Juniors. The 34-year-old Argentine forward has signed a contract with the club through the end of the 2024 season.
Ábila, who has been capped 12 times by the Argentine national team, has a proven track record as a goal scorer. In his previous stint with Boca Juniors, he scored 21 goals in 63 appearances. He also helped the club win the Argentine Primera División title in 2018.
Minnesota United acquired Ábila off of waivers after he was loaned out to Huracán last season. The club exercised a purchase option that was part of the waiver agreement.
Ábila is expected to provide a significant boost to Minnesota United's attack. The club has struggled to score goals in recent years, finishing near the bottom of the league in scoring in each of the past two seasons.
With Ábila in the lineup, Minnesota United should be a more dangerous attacking team. The forward is known for his ability to score goals from all over the pitch, including close range, outside the box, and set pieces. He is also a good passer who can create chances for his teammates.
The signing of Ábila is a major coup for Minnesota United. He is a proven goal scorer who should help the club improve its attacking output and challenge for a playoff berth in the 2023 season.
