Minnesota United takes a three-match MLS winning streak to Frisco, Texas, where it is scheduled to face FC Dallas this week. The trip comes with Dallas in the middle of a sharply rebuilt roster and Minnesota trying to extend its best run of the season.
The game matters because Minnesota has already seen Dallas plenty of times before. The clubs have met 20 times in regular-season MLS play since United joined the league, and this version of Dallas looks very different from the teams Minnesota has tracked over the years. Eric Quill has been in charge since late 2024, and the club’s attack has been driven by Petar Musa and Logan Farrington, who have combined for a fast start through eight league games. Musa has nine goals and one assist, while Farrington, a Racine, Wisconsin native and the third overall pick in the 2024 MLS SuperDraft, has four goals and three assists.
That production has come from a roster with little continuity. Of the 11 players who have started at least six of Dallas’ eight league games, only Bernard Kamungo was with the club before 2023. Sebastian Ibeagha arrived in 2023, Musa and Farrington joined in 2024, and seven of those 11 regular starters came in within the last two years. In Dallas’ last match against the Galaxy, eight of the 11 starters were signed in 2025 or 2026, a sign of how quickly Quill has turned the team over.
There is also depth behind the headline names. Joaquín Valiente has three assists in less than 400 minutes, and Herman Johannson has one assist from right wingback. That is the challenge for Minnesota: Dallas is not only producing from the expected scorers, but also getting contributions from players whose roles have expanded in a short time.
Quill’s background gives the rebuild added context. He has coached Dallas since late 2024 after spending 2019 to 2021 with the Burn and managing North Texas in the three years before MLS NEXT Pro formed. The result is a team shaped by a coach who knows the club’s broader pathway system and has already remade much of the first group he inherited.
For Minnesota, the matchup offers a chance to test its run against a side built almost from scratch around new arrivals and quick chemistry. For Dallas, it is another chance to show that a roster assembled rapidly can hold up against a conference opponent that is arriving in form.
