Union's left back Kai Wagner, who is also out of contract, has publicly stated that he's not returning, and star forward Julian Carranza has attracted interest from European clubs.
Despite the loss and the impending departures, Union's manager Jim Curtin and sporting director Ernst Tanner have had their contracts extended, indicating a continuity in leadership.
Union's defeat marks the end of an era, with big decisions looming for the club in the short off-season, as they prepare for the 2024 preseason starting in the first week of January.
