Wayne rooney set to leave everton to join mls side dc united

I think there may be some confusion here!

Wayne Rooney has indeed left Everton, but he didn't join DC United. In July 2017, Rooney left Everton to join Major League Soccer (MLS) side D.C. United, but he didn't join them as a player. Instead, he became the club's player-coach, a role that allowed him to play for the team while also taking on coaching responsibilities.

Rooney played for D.C. United for two seasons, scoring 12 goals in 48 appearances, before retiring from professional football in January 2019. He has since remained involved with the club as a player-coach, helping to develop young players and providing guidance to the team.

So, to clarify, Wayne Rooney did leave Everton to join D.C. United, but not as a player. He became the club's player-coach, a unique role that allowed him to combine his playing and coaching careers.
