Sacha → Red Bulls
The news of U.S. international Sacha Kljestan’s transfer to the Red Bulls ruled the day in Orlando, New York and the rest of Major League Soccer.
Expected to join the team during their stay in Central Florida, Kljestan said a tech-savvy hello to Red Bull supporters using the iNote app on his iPhone:
Mike Grella Golazo
Former Leeds United product Mike Grella is one of a few trialists in camp hoping to earn a permanent stay this preseason.

SPOILER ALERT: The United States lost 3-2.
