Everton have confirmed they have reached an agreement with DC United for the permanent transfer of Wayne Rooney.
The 32-year-old forward is expected to arrive in Washington at around 7pm BST on Thursday and will hold a news conference at the MLS club on Monday.
Rooney has signed a three-and-a-half-year contract and will complete the formalities of his move when the MLS transfer window opens on July 10.
Everton said in a statement: "From everyone at Everton, we thank Wayne for his service to the club and wish him every success in the next three-and-a-half years with DC United."
Rooney said he is fulfilling a long-held ambition by moving to the MLS.
"It is fantastic to be joining DC United at such an exciting time in the club's history with the new stadium opening in just a few weeks," Rooney said.
"Moving to America and MLS fulfils another career ambition for me."
"I have the hunger to be a success here and will give DC 100 per cent - as I have always done for every team I have ever played for."
