Former England Captain, Wayne Rooney is set to leave Everton this summer following reports that he has agreed to a “deal in principle” with MLS side DC United.

The former Manchester United forward is moving to the US in a deal worth £12m, brokered by the player’s agent Paul Stretford, according to Sky Sports News.

The report suggests that the deal will be officially confirmed when the MLS mid-season transfer window opens on July 10.

Rooney would become the highest-paid player on DC’s books, but the club are said to be hoping that their move to new Audi Field stadium in July will help them bankroll the deal.
