The MLS returns with a fresh set of fixtures as DC United and Inter Miami go head-to-head at Audi Field on Saturday.
Gerardo Martino’s men head into the weekend fresh off the back of reaching the CONCACAF Champions Cup quarter-finals and will look to keep the juggernaut rolling.
DC United were guilty of a lack of cutting edge at the attacking end of the pitch as they played out a goalless draw with FC Cincinnati last Sunday.
Prior to that, Troy Lesesne’s side kicked off the season with a 3-1 victory over New England Revolution on February 25, one week before playing out a 2-2 draw with Portland Timbers.
