DC United boss Wayne Rooney could be set to offer his former Manchester United teammate Phil Jones a chance to rebuild his career in Major League Soccer.
Rooney, who played with Jones at Old Trafford for several years, took over as DC head coach during the week. Upon rejoining the franchise, with whom he spent two seasons as a player, he confirmed those in charge in the US capital were "working hard" to get new signings over the line.
Luis Suarez is among the big names linked with the struggling side, who lost at Minnesota United on Saturday. However, Jones - who has struggled for minutes at his current club - could be the first to link up with his one-time England international colleague.
