Dating back to the year 1909, Dundee United have made their name as among the stalwarts of Scottish football. Unafraid of a tough game, rain or shine, they compete on their home turf at Tannadice Park, known by many a devoted follower of Scotland's rich football tapestry.
With a total value roundabouts the £9m mark, the present Dundee United squad isn't something to be snuffed at, as supported by the figures at Transfermarkt.
The heart of this formidable unit is made up of 29 lads, with the median age hovering around 25. A healthy blend, one could say, of youthful vigour and seasoned know-how.
As for their endeavour on the field this season, the Tangerines have made their mark in no less than three different competitions. Their pursuit of glory has seen them dwell in the fifth spot in the Premiership, secure a quarter-final berth in the League Cup, and reach as far as the Fourth Round in the blackjack of Scottish football that is the Scottish Cup. All in a season's work, indeed.
