2018 has been a wild ride so far for D.C. United. The season started with the allure of the opening of Audi Field, but the Black-and-Red faced a tough schedule before July 14th, having to slog their way through 12 games on the road, playing two ‘home’ games at other stadiums in the region. United didn’t have much luck in that early period, and quickly found themselves cemented to the bottom of the Eastern Conference.
Then, the news of the potential signing of Wayne Rooney came about, and the outlook for United’s season looked brighter.
