With a foundation stone erected in the distant 1909, Dundee United have been leaving countless stud marks on the pitch of The CalForth Construction Arena in Scotland. It's a ground that has gained a reputation not for the faint-hearted, echoing the passions of a fervent horde of followers season after season.
Aptly reflecting the club's rather steadfast heritage, the Dundee United playing squad holds a combined market value approximating to a humble £9m, information I beg and borrow from Transfermarkt.
The club boasts of an energetic group of 26 players averaging the tender age of 24, marinating a potent blend of spirited youth and tempered experience. Indeed, these lads bear the weight of ambition and legacy together on their collective shoulders.
Not the sort to be labelled underachievers, this campaign has seen Dundee United battling in four different competitions. To be specific, they currently hold their heads high at the 8th place in the Premiership, clawed their way till the second round in the League Cup, reached the fourth hurdle in the iconic Scottish Cup, and even tasted European air by making it till the 3rd Qualifying round of the Conference League. An admirable feat, some might say.
