D.C. United made the signing of Wayne Rooney official on Thursday morning, and by Thursday afternoon, the legendary English striker arrived at Dulles Airport to begin his American adventure. After what seemed like a long, drawn-out process after the first rumor of Rooney signing dropped in early May, Rooney’s arrival signaled United’s biggest ever signing, both in terms of the player’s popularity in the global game, and the amount of money spent getting the player under contract.
Rooney was greeted at Dulle Airport by a large group of United supporters who made the trek out to Virginia to meet their new designated player.
