Keon Daniel and the Philadelphia Union mutually agreed to his release. After constantly being apart of the selection since he came into the Union, the U have spent the offseason retooling their midfield by adding three DPs in Maurice Edu, Vincent Nogueira and Christian Maidana. In a press release Hackworth said, "We think this move is the best decision for both Keon’s career and our club." Daniel is constantly selected to represent his country Trinidad & Tobago and hasn't seen a minute in the first five games the Union have played this season.
