Arsenal to face MLS XI after Wayne Rooney 'lets slip friendly details to fans'

Premier League leaders Arsenal are set to face an MLS XI managed by DC United boss Wayne Rooney this summer, with the Manchester United legend reportedly letting details slip to fans during a fan event last Thursday.

The Gunners currently sit eight points clear at the top of the Premier League table with 10 games left to play. Mikel Arteta’s youthful side are currently one of England’s biggest draws and are hoping to beat defending champions Manchester City to the top flight crown.

And according to The Athletic, Arsenal will be heading to the US this summer for pre-season regardless of whether they’re champions or not. The match is set to take place on July 19 at Audi Field in Washington D.C, home of Rooney’s Black-and-Reds.
