The Union announced Tuesday that they've bought a 10% stake in Danish first-division club Lyngby, with the option to buy another 10% in the future. It marks the first time the Union have ventured into a multi-club partnership, something that's becoming common around the world. “Our process was driven by a desire to enhance the core strengths of our club and to better leverage the network Ernst [Tanner, the Union's sporting director] has established in Europe,” Union principal owner Jay Sugarman said in a statement. “Our discussions and interactions have confirmed to us that Lyngby is a club that shares similar values and ambitions with the Union and we look forward to a mutually successful relationship going forward.”
