Montreal Impact president Joey Saputo and MLS Commissioner Don Garber announced Friday that Major League Soccer will welcome Montreal as its 19th team in 2012.
After struggling over the last couple years to join the league, the Impact will now become Canada's third MLS franchise. Toronto FC is in its fourth season while Vancouver is set to debut next year.
Montreal currently plays in the USSF D2 Pro League and was one of the clubs to leave the United Soccer Leagues after dissent between the league and club owners.

NEW YORK — Manchester United and Major League Soccer announced today that the storied English club will embark on another tour of the USA this summer. But the 2010 edition will be unlike any other.
For the first time in club history, the Red Devils will take on MLS opposition, highlighted by their taking on MLS' best in the 2010 AT&T MLS All-Star Game on July 28 at Reliant Stadium (8:30 p.m. ET on ESPN2 and Telefutura). Before the MLS All-Stars take their crack at the 18-time English champions, the expansion Philadelphia Union (July 21 @ time TBD) and the Kansas City Wizards (July 25 @ 6:00 p.m. ET) will get their shot.
“Manchester United are among the most recognized and successful clubs in the world, and we are pleased to have them compete against our All-Stars and two MLS clubs this summer,” MLS Commissioner Don Garber said. “We are proud to once again present our supporters with one of the most compelling All-Star game formats in sports and we believe Manchester United’s North American tour will be a tremendous celebration of the sport following the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.”
In the lead-up to the MLS friendlies, ManU’s North American travels will see them take on Scottish giants Celtic at the Rogers Center in Toronto on July 16.

No, it's not an April Fool's joke.
Major League Soccer today announced significant changes to the structure of the Designated Player rule which will allow teams to sign as many as 3 players whose salaries exceed the league maximum.
Effective immediately, the rule also drops the salary cap hit for a DP to $335,000, down from $415,000 last year. Teams can also use their allocation cash to bring that cap hit down to as little as $150,000.
