Wayne Rooney has reportedly told Everton he wants to join Major League Soccer side DC United this summer.
Stunning reports emerged on Wednesday that England’s record goalscorer is in ‘serious talks’ over a move to the Washington DC-based club.
The 32-year-old re-joined Everton from Manchester United to great fanfare last summer, but the return to his boyhood club has not worked out as he planned.
Rooney, who has 11 goals this season but last scored in December, is said to be frustrated over his role under Sam Allardyce, having only competed a full 90 minutes four times under the new boss.
