Minnesota United FC
They call themselves the Loons, and the nickname captures everything - a club as wild, distinctive, and deeply Northern as the Minnesota wilderness itself, playing in a jewel-box stadium that glows against the Saint Paul skyline while supporter scarves wave through subzero winds.
Current Leadership
Owner & Chairman
Bill McGuire, former CEO of UnitedHealth Group, purchased Minnesota United (then in the NASL) in 2012 and led the franchise into MLS in 2017. He oversaw construction of Allianz Field in Saint Paul, which opened in 2019 and is regarded as one of the finest soccer-specific stadiums in the league.
Ownership Group
The McGuire family's investment group includes several prominent Minnesota business leaders who have supported the club's growth from the NASL through its establishment in MLS. The group has invested heavily in the club's academy and first-team roster.
