MLS is in "advanced discussions" over a new team in Minnesota, the league has confirmed.

A 25th team is set to be announced within the next few weeks, and it appears that Minnesota United could be in the driving seat.

MLS commissioner Don Garber said in a statement: "We are in advanced discussions with Bill McGuire and his partners in Minnesota to bring a Major League Soccer expansion club to the Twin Cities and are particularly excited about their plans for a new soccer-specific stadium that will serve as the club's home."

Minnesota United faces competition from teams in Sacremento and Las Vegas.
