The 24th and, as it stands, final place in Major League Soccer looks like being filled sooner rather than later.

Minnesota already has sports teams named the Wild, the Vikings, the Twins and the Timberwolves, but, from now on, we're going to be hearing a lot more about United.

That's the name of the state's professional soccer team who currently play in the North American Soccer League.

But MLS Commissioner Don Garber has confirmed he's in advanced talks with United's owner, billionaire Bill McGuire, to get them onboard.

So, how much of an appetite is there for Major League Soccer in the city of Minneapolis?

Wes Burdine is the head of the club's official fans group, The Dark Clouds, and he says that the MLS will be gaining a team unlike any other in the league.
