Wayne Rooney flies to Washington for talks, medicals with DC United

Ahead of a proposed move to DC United, Wayne Rooney has arrived in Washington for talks and a medicals.
The Everton striker and his agent Paul Stretford will meet DC United's managing general partner Jason Levien and general manager Dave Kasper. It is also understood the pair are due to visit DC's new Audi Field stadium.

Although negotiations are far from complete - and no transfer fee has been agreed - Rooney's 48-hour visit to the States is an indication that a deal is close.
