Midfielder Marcos Sanchez has joined DC United on a season-long loan from Tauro FC.
The 23-year old Panamanian has been on trial with the Washington outfit for the past two weeks and has now been brought in for the 2013 MLS season with the view to a permanent move.
Sanchez, who is a Panama national team regular, operates as a right-sided midfielder and will provide competition for Nick DeLeon who starred for DC in 2012.
