Yago joins United on loan from Brazilian Série A club Vasco da Gama for the Fall Season.
The Brazil native brings a lot of pace to Minnesota’s attack. He opens up space by pushing to the end line and playing crosses into the penalty area from a tight angle. Yago’s speed allows him to run at defenders and create many individual chances as well. His ability to draw defenders out from the middle of the pitch and sneak in behind the defensive line makes him a valuable asset in a speedy counterattack.
Yago came up through the youth ranks at Vasco, who were defeated by Minnesota 1-0 during the preseason, to earn a spot with the first team in 2012. The 21-year-old made his first appearance in 2014, where he scored a goal in his debut and later helped Vasco return to Série A after being relegated the previous season. He has made 33 appearances and scored two goals for Vasco. He also played for Brazil’s U17 National Team in 2010.
2015: Yago joined United midway through the season on loan. The young winger provided speed and skill down the flanks for Minnesota and was an excellent creator on the attack.
