The 2024 season will be D.C. United 's 29th in existence and its 29th consecutive season in the top division of American soccer , Major League Soccer . In addition to MLS, D.C. United will participate in the 2024 Leagues Cup .
Background [ edit ]
The 2023 season was the first, and only, full season with Wayne Rooney in charge of managerial duties for United. Under Rooney's leadership the club improved in form and finishing with 40 points on the season, up from 27 the previous season. However, the improvement was not enough to qualify for the 2023 MLS Cup Playoffs , resulting in Rooney's dismissal.[1] Despite calls for his resignation by fans, Sporting Director Dave Kasper was not fired during the offseason.[2]
Outside of league play, United reached the fourth round of the 2023 U.S. Open Cup and the round of 32 in the 2023 Leagues Cup . Christian Benteke lead United with 14 goals across all competitions.
