English football star Wayne Rooney has arrived in Washington for talks with DC United about the Everton striker joining the Major League Soccer side this season. Rooney’s spokesman confirmed the star footballer’s arrival in the US capital, with the Washington Post saying Rooney cut short a family vacation in Barbados and flew to Washington from Miami. Everton has given permission for Rooney, 32, to speak with United but the US club must still make a deal and agree upon transfer terms with the English Premier League club. United would have 20 matches remaining in the season, 15 at home, after Rooney arrives should he come in the July window. Rooney rejoined the Toffees last year after 13 seasons with Manchester United.
