Everton striker Wayne Rooney stalls DC United move

Everton striker Wayne Rooney is yet to make a final decision on moving to DC United.

DC United want Rooney to make his debut when they open their new 20,000-capacity Audi Field stadium against Vancouver Whitecaps on 14 July.

The MLS transfer window does not open until 10 July, but DC want Rooney in Washington by the start of the month.

And with Everton also due back for pre-season training under their new manager Marco Silva, there is a deadline for Rooney to choose where his short-term future lies.

He still has another season remaining on his present Everton contract.
