The veteran signed a one-year deal

DC United have signed veteran midfielder Yamil Asad on a one-year deal through the 2023 MLS season with options for 2024-25, the MLS announced on Thursday night.

The 28-year-old Argentine begins his third stint with the Black-and-Red, having originally joined the team on loan during the 2018 season before returning to childhood club Velez Sarsfield the following year.

Asad was back with United in 2020, this time on a permanent contract, playing an additional two seasons.

“Yamil loves this club and has been steadfast in his desire to return,” D.C. president of soccer operations Dave Kasper said.

“I’ve always been impressed with how Yamil leaves it all on the field and bleeds for the shirt. We look forward to getting him back on the field.”

United are coming off a dramatic 3-2 Matchday 1 win over Toronto FC and will look to make it two straight victories on the new season Saturday night when visiting the Columbus Crew.
