Arsenal will play in the Major League Soccer (MLS) All-Star game in July according to reports. The Gunners are currently top of the Premier League table and sit eight points clear having played a game more than challengers Manchester City.
Owned by Stan Kroenke, there is a clear link between Arsenal and America and they will be making that a reality when they play at D.C. United’s Audi Field in Washington D.C on July 19. There is also an interesting coming together in the dugouts too with All-Star game tradition being that the host city's club coach takes charge.
In this instance it will be former Everton, Derby and Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney being pitted up against Mikel Arteta. The Spaniard has had a meteoric rise at the helm this season after missing out on European football.
