Manchester United record goalscorer Wayne Rooney will coach the Major League Soccer All-Stars this summer, when they welcome Premier League leaders Arsenal to the States.
The contest takes place at DC United's Audi Field on July 19 and as head coach of the team residing at the home venue, Rooney will take charge of the All-Star side for the match. The game pits the league's best players against an overseas opponent, which this year will be the Gunners.
Rooney featured in the All-Star game as a player in 2011, assisting two goals in an eventual 4-0 win for Sir Alex Ferguson's side as Anderson, Danny Welbeck, Dimitar Berbatov, and Park Ji-Sung scored. That was the only time United have featured in the contest, with former player David Beckham and Arsenal legend Thierry Henry on the opposite side.
