Wayne Rooney has swooped to sign Nottingham Forest ace Lewis O’Brien on loan for DC United to boost their 2023 MLS title hopes.
The midfielder has struggled for consistent game time amid a flurry of signings after Forest returned to the Premier League this season. O’Brien has appeared in 13 matches and scored once - with the goal coming in a 3-2 loss to Fulham at the City Ground.
The 24-year-old signed for the Reds during the summer transfer window. He cost the club £10million from Huddersfield but an illness around the World Cup break saw him lose his place in the side while Forest’s form improved.
