Almost two months ago, when rumors of Wayne Rooney considering a move to D.C. United before reports of his agreeing in principle to a deal came to light, a friend asked me privately what my thoughts were on it. I think my answer then is the same as it is now that he’s actually here in Washington, where he met several hundred of his newest fans:
“Hey man I just work here.”
I truly don’t know what to think of it. Some people think it changes nothing on the organization’s current fortunes, others find themselves re-uniting with the Black-and-Red like a much beloved friend from school.
