(June 10, 2021) Albuquerque, NM – New Mexico United is thrilled to announce the multi-year re-signing of forward Amando Moreno. Moreno, who joined United from Chicago Fire before the 2020 season, has led United in goals (8), shots (38), and shots on target (24) since his arrival. This new deal means that Moreno will remain in the Black and Yellow of New Mexico United through at least the end of the 2023 season.
"I feel honored and thankful to be given the opportunity to stay with United for a couple of more years,” said Moreno. “Being here has helped me grow so much more as a player and as a human being. I couldn't see myself playing for any other team in this league since this organization has made me feel like a family member. I want to win the championship and staying with New Mexico gives me the best chance of achieving that goal. I love this team! Somos Unidos!"
Since his arrival before the 2020 season, Moreno has played in every match but one, and started all but three. Just one of Moreno’s goals scored for United has been scored at home – earlier this season against Austin Bold FC – as the club played all of 2020 on the road.
