New coach Wayne Rooney put his biggest stamp yet on D.C. United’s roster overhaul Monday when the club finalized the signing of playmaker Ravel Morrison, a person with knowledge of the situation said.
Morrison, a 29-year-old midfielder, signed with United through 2023 with an option for 2024, said the person, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the move had not been announced.
The Manchester native, who represents the Jamaican national team, most recently played under Rooney for Derby County in English soccer’s second tier. D.C. will be his 13th club in a career that has included stints with English clubs Manchester United, West Ham and Queens Park Rangers; Italian power Lazio; and teams in the Netherlands, Sweden and Mexico.
