To date, this was the last time in franchise history that the team has won an MLS Cup title, or even made the final.
United signed retired MLS star Piotr Nowak to the role of head coaching duties.
In 2003, United made national and international headlines by drafting 14-year-old prospect Freddy Adu as the first pick of the MLS SuperDraft.
A series of agreements between the two sides gave Dallas additional allocation from United so that Adu could play for his local club, as he grew up near Potomac, Maryland.
