Transfer : Rooney Set For MLS Move With DC United

Former England international Wayne Rooney could be set for a remarkable switch to America with DC United.

The Everton striker is wanted by the MLS side as a marquee signing, and the Blues are ready to let the former England captain leave should he wish to.

Talks over a potential move to Washington are reportedly at an advanced stage, and that there is growing confidence on both sides that a deal can be agreed which would see the 32-year-old sign a two-year contract with DC.

Rooney returned to Everton last July on a free transfer from Manchester United, but his dream return to Goodison Park has been a mixed one.
