Michael Boxall doesn't want end of Loons’ season to be his swan song

Boxall has 298 appearances and says contract talks are ongoing as Minnesota United chases a playoff berth.

  • On Saturday, MNUFC plays at Shell Energy Stadium in Houston, battling for a Western Conference playoff spot while sitting within five points of Colorado for the final position.
  • Captain Michael Boxall nears 300 appearances for the Loons, though the 38-year-old center back faces an uncertain future with his contract expiring at season's end.
  • Playing through an "essentially a stress fracture" to his adductor, Boxall has been limited to 21 matches this year, his fewest in five seasons, though he is now recovered.
  • Boxall leads the team with 298 appearances, nearly 100 more than midfielder Wil Trapp, and the Pioneer Press reports the club is interested in retaining him despite ongoing negotiations.
  • "It is like a playoff game," Boxall added, while Knowles emphasized the team does not control its own destiny, requiring consistent victories to extend their season.
