D.C. United continued its midseason roster overhaul under incoming coach Wayne Rooney by agreeing to acquire forward Miguel Berry from the Columbus Crew for financial considerations, a person with knowledge of the deal said Monday.
United will send Columbus $225,000 in general allocation money that will be spread over two years, said the person, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the move wasn’t publicly announced. That amount could increase with performance-based incentives.
Berry, 24, has recorded 10 goals and two assists over 34 games (22 starts) since being selected by the Crew with the seventh overall pick in the 2020 MLS draft.
