Things are happening too fast for Duncan McGuire. From the NCAA to the national team, the star has come a long way in a short period. The Orlando City SC striker’s excellent performances in MLS after getting in from the 2023 SuperDraft led him to former coach Gregg Berhalter’s team earlier this year. With 23 goals and 4 assists already in a senior club career, he is one of the key players now to bear the burden of the USMNT’s attack in the 2024 Paris Olympics.
On the other hand, McGuire’s family will be his strength and support during this time. With the star claiming to be very close to his younger brother and being influenced by his father during his early days, it is intriguing to know about McGuire’s kin.
