With Vincenzo Bernardo confirming a few hours ago via Twitter that he has decided which MLS team he plans on signing for, there is speculation that he will soon be a member of the Union. The 19-year old was born in Morristown, New Jersey and has played under Union assistant manager John Hackworth for the US Men's National Team, which lends credence to the rumor of him soon donning the blue and gold (which, by the way, he says he likes).
This signing might make up for some of the criticism the Union received for not choosing any local players in the MLS expansion draft, a tactic used by previous expansion teams to garner additional interest. Bernardo was most recently a member of S.S.C. Napoli, and has said an official announcement will be made "soon."
