DC UnitedGoal in three straight
Munteanu took two shots and scored a goal in Saturday's 2-2 draw with Nashville SC. He also drew two fouls and committed two fouls.
Analysis: After failing to score or assist in his first five appearances, Munteanu is scorching hot with four goals across his last three outings. He'll look to carry that momentum into Wednesday's juicy home clash with the Chicago Fire.
Nets brace
Munteanu scored two goals to go with six shots (three on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Sunday's 2-0 victory versus New York City FC.
Analysis: Munteanu did it all for DC United for Sunday, recording both team goals while sealing the away win vs NYCFC. Since returning from injuey, he's recorded three goals in just the last two matches, having made 11 shots (six on target) while creating three chances and winning two tackles in that span.
Spot start and goal
Munteanu scored one goal to go with five shots (three on goal) and three chances created in Saturday's 3-2 win versus Orlando City SC. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 75th minute.
Analysis: Tai Baribo (thigh) out Saturday meant D.C. United needed someone else to pair up with Jackson Hopkins up top, and the team selected Munteanu. Its decision ultimately paid off, with the last of his three on-target shots deflecting off defender Luis Otavio and past goalkeeper Maxime Crepeau for a goal. At least until Baribo is healthy, with his return date unknown, Munteanu looks like Hopkins' striker partner moving forward.
Starts versus Orlando
Munteanu (thigh) is in the starting XI for Saturday's meeting with Orlando City.
Analysis: Munteanu is ready to play following a two-game absence, gaining increased value as he makes his first start of the season in Tai Baribo's (thigh) place. Over his previous five appearances off the bench, Munteanu tallied seven shots (zero on goal) and six crosses (one accurate) across 120 minutes of play.
