Wayne Rooney delivered an emotional pre-match and half-time speech to the DC United players as they came from behind to win their opening MLS game.
The 37-year-old took charge of DC for the first time this season on Saturday when they faced Toronto FC at Audi Field. But before the game, Rooney decided to fire up his players with a moving message in the dressing room ahead of the game.
"I've seen some of the interviews from their side. They've come here expecting to win," Rooney said, via the club's social media channels. "So, I got asked a question in the press conference, I got asked, 'what's your expectations, because everyone else in the league don't expect us to do anything.' I don't give a f*** what anyone else thinks.
