Mark McKenzie, a World Cup veteran with 30 caps and a key leader for the U.S. men’s national team, is set to return to Major League Soccer with the Philadelphia Union in January after a stint with FC Toulouse. The deal, worth around $2.5 million, marks a homecoming for the defender, who began his pro career with the Union in 2015 and was a Rookie of the Year finalist. His return could be transformative for the Union’s young roster, including 16-year-old Cavan Sullivan and 18-year-old Neil Pierre, who stand to benefit from his experience. McKenzie’s consistent performances in France and his full-game appearance in the World Cup group stage underscore his value, making this move a major boost for both the team and MLS.
