The youngest permanent head coach in league history (at 32 years old) began his Minnesota United FC tenure with the joy of listening to the Loons’ faithful serenade him with “Wonderwall” by Oasis - the club’s anthem sung to commemorate wins - following his team’s 2-0 victory over LAFC.
In stark contrast to a 5-1 loss in these clubs’ last meeting, which saw MNUFC part ways with Adrian Heath last season, the fans left Allianz Field with heaps of hope on Saturday night.
“It is spectacular, it really is,” Ramsay said of hearing Minnesota’s post-game anthem. “I think it’s absolutely unique. I have obviously heard an awful lot about how it feels to win a home game, and I didn’t want to make too big a deal prior to that.
“I knew it would come eventually. I was really hopeful it would come today. I felt an element of pressure for it to come today, so I am really happy that it has.”
