Frank de Boer Q&A

With over 300 appearances as a player for AFC Ajax and 100 caps for the Dutch National Team, Frank de Boer knows a thing or two about the beautiful game. De Boer's club recently ended a seven-year Eredivisie title drought last weekend, as Ajax defeated FC Twente to capture a Dutch record 30 First Division titles. The Ajax manager caught up with dcunited.com at this afternoon's Youth Soccer Clinic on D.C. United's training complex, with the Black-and-Red set to face the legendary Amsterdam side on Sunday, May 22 at 5:00 p.m. ET.

McCarty still adapting to his new club

WASHINGTON ? Ten games into the 2011 season, D.C. United fans have yet to see the real Dax McCarty.

The new DC captain ? a player who manager Ben Olsen made a point to acquire during the recent offseason as a player he could build his team around ? admits he?s still working on adapting to his new club.

?I hold myself to a pretty high standard, and I don?t think I?ve been as good as I should have been in these past 10 games,? McCarty admitted this week.

Reserve League: D.C. United 1, Philadelphia Union 0

DC United (3-0-0) remained unbeaten in MLS Reserve League play on Monday, edging Philadelphia Union (1-1-0) by a score of 1-0 at Chester Park. The visitors received a 43rd minute goal from Brandon Barklage off a corner kick and held the Union scoreless throughout.

The first scoring chance of the match came in the opening minutes when Blake Brettschneider broke free on goal, but the 22-year-old forward?s shot slid wide right of the far post.

SONS OF THE GODS

D.C. United is no stranger to facing European clubs with significant pedigree. In recent memory the Black-and-Red have hosted some of the biggest names in world football, including Real Madrid, Chelsea, Celtic, and in 2010 the club posted a memorable victory over AC Milan. On Sunday, May 22 United will add another tradition-rich club to its list, as 2011 Dutch Eredivisie champion AFC Ajax comes into RFK Stadium.
