The veteran striker has revitalized his new team, both with his contributions on and off the field
There were plenty of doubts about D.C. United’s signing of Wayne Rooney in July.
At 32, Rooney wasn’t necessarily ancient but had more tread on the tires than most players his age, having been a regular at club level since age 17. Clearly not the force he once was, D.C. nevertheless gave Rooney a reported $13 million deal over two-and-a-half seasons, in addition to an undisclosed transfer fee paid to Everton.
One month after his debut, It’s fair to say that many of those doubts were erased with just one play.
