Wayne Rooney has agreed terms to become the manager of Major League Soccer side DC United, according to multiple media outlets.
Rooney, who played for DC United between 2018 and 2019, stepped down as manager of Derby County last month, ending a turbulent 17-month spell during which the English club were marred by financial trouble and relegated to the third tier.
Rooney had been in talks with the MLS club for weeks, according to the reports on Sunday, and will replace interim coach Chad Ashton, who took charge after the departure of Hernan Losada in April.
ESPN reported that the former Manchester Unitedforward would join up with the club once the final details were worked out and he had received a work visa.
DC United are second from bottom in the Eastern Conference with 17 points from 17 matches. They were thrashed 7-0 by Philadelphia Union in their last game.
