The 21 year old Argentine playmaker may be United's biggest acquisition for 2016.
D.C. United's midfield overhaul continued today, as the Black-and-Red have completed a deal to acquire attacking midfielder Luciano Acosta on a one-year loan from Boca Juniors, historically one of the top two teams in Argentina. The 21 year old Acosta, who played frequently last season on loan with Estudiantes de La Plata, was first reported to be heading to the District by Argentine journalist Lucho Torres Toranzo. As we reported before, United's deal with Boca Juniors includes a clause that would allow United to purchase Acosta's playing rights.
