DC United have confirmed the appointment of Wayne Rooney as their new manager, with the club explaining he has already shown his managerial qualities since hanging up his boots.
The former England international striker arrives shortly after confirming his departure from Derby County. Rooney spent two seasons as a player with the Major League Soccer side before hanging up his boots, and has now completed a return to the US.
Rooney left Derby after their relegation from the Championship at the end of last season. He was spotted boarding a plane to the States over the weekend and has now been confirmed in his new role.
