DC United manager Wayne Rooney has said the MLS club are ‘trying everything’ to extend Lewis O’Brien’s stay until the end of the USA season.
The Nottingham Forest midfielder joined the American side on loan in March after a late January deadline-day move to Blackburn Rovers fell through. O’Brien was left out of Steven Cooper’s 25-man Premier League squad for the second half of the season.
It left him looking for a club, with the British transfer window closed. A move to Washington, managed by former Derby County boss Rooney, was confirmed just under two months later.
