New York Red Bulls have announced that goalkeeper David Jensen is leaving the club on loan to KVC Westerlo in Belgium. The former first-choice goalkeeper has found himself on the outside looking in in 2021 with Carlos Coronel being the primary keeper for New York.

"We wish David the best as he heads over to play at Westerlo," said Head of Sport Kevin Thelwell. "He is a professional on and off the field, and he hope he excels during his stint at Westerlo."

Jensen joined the club in 2020 and quickly made himself the starting keeper, beating out Ryan Meara who many thought was destined for the role. The Danish keeper made 15 appearances for the club and posted a 1.45 goals-against average. Despite a strong showing, he quickly found himself being the third choice keeper this season under the new guidance of head coach Gerhard Struber.

Whether or not Jensen returns for 2022 remains to be seen. However, the club has made strides with younger keepers such as AJ Marcucci and Luca Lewis. More than likely, Jensen may not have a position with the club moving forward.

Quotes: Red Bulls Show Promise, But More Work Need To Be Done

photo by Matt Kremkau Sixty seconds in a ninety-minute match. That’s all it took for Sporting Kansas City to ruin the Opening Day festivities at Red Bull Arena on Saturday night. The supporters in attendance saw crisp passing and a stout defense that kept the visitors at bay, despite not having striker Alan Pulido in the starting lineup. But significantly, the supporters were buoyed by a return to that press that has last seen since Jesse Marsch was in charge. But that was the first 45 minutes. In the second half, things turned for the better and then, shockingly, worse for the home side that evening. Midfielder Caden Clark, who scored the opening goal, spoke about the match as a whole: I’ve kept that in the back of my mind, actually, not scoring at home. I really wanted to do that in front of the supporters, and it was great to do that in front of the few that were here tonight who brought the noise. When I scored that [goal] the place was shaking, and you feed off of that and gai...

Editorial: New York Red Bulls are Fun to Watch

photo by Matt Kremkau by Daniel Feuerstein The New York Red Bulls 2024 season starts off and running. In their first three matches, they have looked different from their last five to six seasons of doom and despair when trying to attack or have a lapse in judgment on the defensive end. The two big editions for the club are undoubtedly the imports from Sweden in Centerback Noah Elle & attacking midfielder Emil Forsberg. Two players who are a part of the Swedish National Team have started off well in Major League Soccer. We all knew what we were getting right away from Forsberg. A high-energy creative and attacking midfielder who was already bought in from day one, when Director of Sport Jochen Schneider went to Leipzig and brought him over. He was already committed to making the trip to the United States to play his brand of soccer, and so far he hasn't disappointed. Even though he has come close three times off of free kicks, hitting the crossbar twice and being saved by the ke...
