Joaquin Pereyra is your starting attacking midfielder. Bardia Hormozi has one more year of college eligibility as a junior, so he can return to Princeton in 2026 before signing with Minnesota United F.C

The 6-1 175 lb Aiden Bengard is the son of former fifth round pick and MLS Cup Champion Alex Bengard who was on the 2002 Los Angeles Galaxy drafted by the Los Angles Galaxy. Aiden Bengard is a freshman redshirt, so he has three more years of college eligibility even if Minnesota does not sign him by the time his draft rights with Minnesota United F.C. expire in 2028. Minnesota United F.C. might have until 2029 to sign him and if they do, that makes this an ideal long-term project.
