McCarty still adapting to his new club

WASHINGTON ? Ten games into the 2011 season, D.C. United fans have yet to see the real Dax McCarty.

The new DC captain ? a player who manager Ben Olsen made a point to acquire during the recent offseason as a player he could build his team around ? admits he?s still working on adapting to his new club.

?I hold myself to a pretty high standard, and I don?t think I?ve been as good as I should have been in these past 10 games,? McCarty admitted this week.

D.C. United is no stranger to facing European clubs with significant pedigree. In recent memory the Black-and-Red have hosted some of the biggest names in world football, including Real Madrid, Chelsea, Celtic, and in 2010 the club posted a memorable victory over AC Milan. On Sunday, May 22 United will add another tradition-rich club to its list, as 2011 Dutch Eredivisie champion AFC Ajax comes into RFK Stadium.
