The former Manchester United and England star becomes an addition to D.C. United club that sits at the bottom of the log in the ongoing MLS standings having picked up just 10 points from 12 matches so far this season.

While terms of the deal were not released, the striker has signed a three-and-half-year deal that will reportedly net him around $13 million (£10m), which would make him the highest paid player in team history and one of the top earners in MLS.
