Wayne Rooney completes move to DC United

Wayne Rooney has officially secured a transfer to DC United after spending only one season at Everton.

The former England international’s arrival at Goodison Park was met with immense excitement from the Everton faithful but it has not been the fairytale return that many had hoped for.

Rooney joins DC United in his first move away from English football, as he aims to challenge himself in the United States.

The signing is a marquee addition for DC United, who will be hoping that Rooney can utilise his ability and experience to provide them with an added attacking spark next season.

Rooney joined Everton on a two-year deal last summer, meaning that he exits Merseyside with only a year remaining on his existing deal.

The fee for the transfer is currently unknown but reports recently indicated that Everton had accepted a bid worth in the region of £12 million for the experienced attacker.
