Wayne Rooney set for DC United medical after travelling to Washington | OneFootball

Wayne Rooney will reportedly arrive in Washington on Thursday for talks and a medical with MLS side DC United.

Rooney and his agent Paul Stretford are expected to meet DC United’s managing general partner Jason Levien and general manager Dave Kasper.

According to Sky Sports News, the pair are also due to visit DC’s new Audi Field stadium.

Although negotiations are far from complete – and no transfer fee has been agreed – Rooney’s 48-hour visit to the States is a clear indication that a deal is close.

On Tuesday night, the Washington Post quoted one source as saying that Rooney had already done some preliminary house-hunting in Northern Virginia.

“Wayne is genuinely interested in the city and wants to get a better feel for it.” one source told the Washington newspaper.
