Philadelphia Union's John Hackworth reiterates core of young players will be key to success in 2014Philadelphia Union manager John Hackworth has gone on the record saying that he hopes to sign around three or four new players this offseason, including at least one marquee acquisition. But another one of his biggest priorities will be to keep the team’s promising young core intact. “We have to add the pieces that are essential for us to take the next step,” Hackworth told MLSsoccer.com. “But for the most part, our young core of players is going to lead the direction.” In 2013, the Union were once again one of the youngest teams in the league. Of the 11 players who logged the most minutes, seven were younger than 25 – a group that included leading scorer Jack McInerney (21), starting goalkeeper Zac MacMath (22) and rising defensive stars Amobi Okugo (22), Sheanon Williams (23) and Ray Gaddis (23). www.mlssoccer.com/news/article/2013/11/15/philadelphia-union-know-their-core-young-players-will-be-key-success-2014
