Wayne Rooney, who stands as the most prolific English talent of the past decade, is supposedly gearing up for a move to DC United in MLS. Which is interesting, exciting, odd, and, to be honest, kind of humorous.
MLS’s longest running criticism is that it was a retirement home for formerly top-tier European talent. While Steven Gerrard kindly squashed those rumors with his move to MLS, they hung around regardless. Even now, with this negative stigma clearly not being the case, there still exists those few who mock it for what it isn’t.
As such, Rooney’s pending arrival is already a question mark.
