D.C. United aiming to compete for MLS Cup in Rooney's final season

The MLS side made moves on deadline day in hopes of pushing the team over the line in the quest for a tittle

Wayne Rooney is leaving MLS, and D.C. United is hoping to make his final season in the league a successful one.

As if the club hadn’t made that obvious enough with the moves made ahead of the league’s transfer deadline, general manager Dave Kasper has now come right out and said it.

With United having landed forwards Ola Kamara and Emmanuel Boateng and added midfielder Felipe, three MLS veterans, over the course of the last week, Kasper says it’s time to focus in on the closing run of the season and a potential tilt at the MLS Cup title.
