D.C. United: The Wayne Rooney departure an unmitigated disaster
On Tuesday morning, Wayne Rooney returned to England as a player-coach at Derby County. His exit is an unmitigated disaster for D.C. United.
For D.C. United, this week, disaster struck. Designated Player and indisputable star Wayne Rooney returned to his homeland to take a player-coach role with Championship side, Derby County — what this says about Major League Soccer is best not thinking about here, although it is certainly worrying that someone would rather play for/coach a middling second-tier English team than be the star in an MLS Cup contender.
