Union Berlin chief aims shocking dig at Brenden Aaronson - days after USMNT star scored late winner for Bundesliga side

Bundesliga

St. Pauli

Union Berlin

Aaronson netted a late winner for the Bundesliga side at the weekend, ending a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/video-brenden-aaronson-winner-union-berlin-usmnt-62-game-goal-drought/blt8e87ac285853dc10" target="_blank">62-game goal drought</a> at club level for both Berlin and Leeds United. However, the American midfielder still hasn't impressed during his loan stint, and a Union chief even took a dig at his physical size.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Bundesliga commentator Derek Rae posted on social media platform X, formerly Twitter, that Ruhnert had said: “With Brenden it comes down to the fundamental theme. Brenden is a super footballer who must accept the fact that in football a certain physical aspect is needed to win the ball &amp; contest challenges.”

WHAT BERLIN CHIEF OLIVER RUHNERT SAID

However, seven months into his loan spell, he still appears not to be thrilled with the progress of the American.Now, it's up to the 23-year-old to impress the front office at Berlin before his loan spell ends.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The USMNT midfielder will look to finally earn the trust of the Berlin faithful and get a nod in the starting XI after his first goal for the Bundesliga side at the weekend. However, if not, he'll look to make an impact off the bench against FC Heidenheim.
