MLS Rumors: Wayne Rooney in talks with DC United

With 10 goals for Everton in league play this season, Wayne Rooney sits second in Premier League history with 208 goals. He is also the all-time leading scorer in England national team history with 53 goals in 119 appearances. But according to Steven Goff of the Washington Post, Rooney is in “serious talks” to join DC United in the MLS this summer.

Reports of Rooney’s growing frustration at Everton have surfaced, and he has a year left on his contract. The MLS transfer window opens on July 10, and Goff tabbed Rooney’s chances of landing with DC United at 50 percent as talks between the club and his representatives have accelerated in recent weeks.
