Wayne Rooney agrees deal to play in America

Friday, 11 May 2018 07:00

Wayne Rooney has reportedly agreed a deal in principle that will see him leave Everton for America.

The 32-year-old could leave for Major League Soccer side DC United this summer in a £12.5m deal.

Nothing has been signed yet and uncertainty over Everton boss Sam Allardyce's position means the forward, 32, could stay at Goodison Park.

The former Manchester United and England captain re-joined his boyhood club in July 2017 but has not had the fairy tale return he and the fans would have liked.

Supporters have protested over the appointment of Allardyce and his perceived negative style of play.
