Philadelphia won back-to-back games for the first time in MLS this season, defeating the Colorado Rapids of the Western Conference 2-1 at Dick's Sporting Goods Park.
Connor Ronan's first-half penalty gave the Rapids an unexpected lead, but scores from Kai Wagner and Julian Carranza completed the visitors' comeback on Saturday.
After being knocked out of the CONCACAF Champions League and the Open Cup in the space of a week, Union now have only MLS matchups to look forward to until the Leagues Cup begins in late July.
Philadelphia is sixth in the Eastern Conference standings after 11 games, seven points behind the first-place New England Revolution, and will need to win consistently to catch up.
Wayne Rooney will be delighted with how his DC United team has started their season at Audi Field and on the road, considering they finished last in the 2022 Supporters Shield.
Four straight wins in all competitions to round off a demanding April calendar was one of the best stretches in management for the Manchester United icon, but three games without a win in May has brought his team back down to earth.
