If there’s anything that would perk up a flagging D.C. United, it’s the announcement of their new head coach, Wayne Rooney. The Black-and-Red officially shared his hiring yesterday at a special event at Audi Field. We’re all hoping the good vibes hang around for tonight’s match against the Columbus Crew.
D.C. United have been inconsistent, pulling off an amazing 5-3 result against Orlando City SC only to turn around and be soundly trounced by Philadelphia Union, 7-0. Add into the mix some of the squad’s key players being unavailable due to serious injury (Bill Hamid and Brad Smith both required surgery and face a lengthy recovery), and it’s evident this has been a difficult stretch for the Black-and-Red.
