United States Under-20 men’s national team head coach Tab Ramos has selected Seattle Sounders forward Victor Mansaray as part of the U.S.’ 22-man roster for the 2016 U-20 Four Nations tournament. The event will take place Oct. 2-11 in Manchester, England.
The United States will face Germany, the Netherlands and England as preparation for the 2017 FIFA U-20 World Cup in South Korea.
“It’s an opportunity to see some of these players play together,” Ramos said. “Some of them have never played together before, and obviously having the opportunity to play Germany, England and Holland is huge. These are the type of games that when players make plays and do well you have to take that into account because it has a lot of value.”
Mansaray, a Homegrown Player from Fife, Wash., has not seen any game action for the Sounders’ first-team side this season, but he scored five goals and added two assists in 19 games with S2. USL named him the league's top player under the age of 20 in August.
