“We are excited to welcome back three players who had integral roles on our roster in 2020,” said, Ryan Martin, Head Coach of Loudoun United. “Massimo’s quality was constantly on show and we’re looking forward to him building on a promising first season with Loudoun United. Kairou was a bright spot for us last year, as he injected our team with pace, athleticism, and attacking quality. We believe he has a high ceiling for success in 2021 and are thrilled to have him back.

“Mike is a veteran on our team and our young players have thrived under his leadership. He has an edge going forward, so he’s another player we are really excited to welcome back in 2021.”

Amoustapha had a solid first season in the Championship, scoring three goals and recording an assist in nine appearances while also leading United with 16 Chances Created.

Ferrin also joined United as he departed Syracuse University after excelling in his two years with the Orange, scoring 12 goals in 38 appearances. In his first professional season, Ferrin made six appearances and recorded 271 minutes of action.
