Dundee United boss Jim Goodwin is pushing to keep a club legend at Tannadice this summer after the side finished ninth in the 2025 Premiership with 33 points from 33 games.
Who is the history maker Goodwin wants to keep?
Goodwin has highlighted a player whose contributions have already carved their name into Dundee United’s history books. The unnamed history maker has been a rock in a season where the Terrors scored 34 goals but let in 53, leaving them 19 goals behind where they needed to be. With a recent run of form showing wins, losses, wins, wins and a loss, Goodwin knows every point matters in a league where survival is never guaranteed.
Why does this player matter to Dundee United?
The history maker’s nous and leadership have been key in a campaign where Dundee United finished 37 points adrift of league leaders Heart Of Midlothian. Goodwin’s focus on keeping this player shows how much they bring to tight games. The manager’s push comes as the club gears up for a new season, with fans already wondering who will step up next.
What happens if Goodwin loses this player?
Losing the history maker would leave a clear gap in the squad. Goodwin’s side lacked consistency last term, with eight wins, nine draws and 16 losses leaving them well short of the top six. The club’s goal difference of -19 spells out the defensive issues Goodwin must fix before the 2026 Premiership kicks off again.
League standing (final 2025 table -- new season not yet under way): 9th in Premiership, 33 pts, 8W-9D-16L from 33 games, recent form WLWWL.
