D.C. United faces their first game since Wayne Rooney announced his winter move to Derby County tonight as they host Zlatan Ibrahimovic and the LA Galaxy. United is at a crossroads as a season that began with real promise has come off the rails, with the Black-and-Red having just 2 wins in their last 13 games (and 1 win in 7). The Galaxy come to town in somewhat similar circumstances, having lost 3 of their last 4 thanks to a defense that has conceded 12 times in that time.
Tonight could well be a crucial turning point for one of these teams, and new signings could be the key.
