With many changes during the week, D.C. United entered Sunday night’s match against the Los Angeles Galaxy off the back of some big headlines. The biggest news was Wayne Rooney’s departure to Derby County, where he will be a player/manager for the EFL Championship club. This will mean the star striker will end his contract early with D.C. United, leaving the club at the end of the season.
Rooney himself was not in the starting XI for D.C. on Sunday, along with Luciano Acosta, which was a bit of a surprise given the high profile matchup against the Galaxy.
