Wayne Rooney will leave D.C. United as it falls short of playoffs again

The English soccer legend told reporters after the game that he was exiting, and United announced the move moments later.

United Coach Wayne Rooney tips his cap as he leaves the field after Saturday's win. Wayne Rooney’s coaching tenure came to an end Saturday with D.C. United’s 2-0, season-closing victory over New York City FC at Audi Field.

Shortly after, United announced Rooney’s exit. “We have spoken with Wayne and agreed it is best for us to part ways at this time,” the club said in a news release. Mateusz Klich scored just before halftime and Chris Durkin added a goal early in the second half as United snapped a six-game winless streak and won for just the second time in 12 matches.

On a cool, breezy night, the match crackled with energy and verve. Hurtado appeared to score his first goal of the season in the eighth minute but was a stride offside on Éric Davis’s cross. Alex Bono made a fine save on NYC’s Kevin O’Toole, and Klich curled a 25-yard bid off the right post.An offside call nullified another apparent D.C. goal, a 15-yard blast by Durkin in the 27th minute.
