Exactly a year to the day Wayne Rooney made his first-ever appearance in Montreal, England’s and Manchester United’s record goal-scorer has called time on his MLS career.
He’s back here on 31 August and that’s likely to be the last time Montreal fans will see him in the flesh, unless, finger’s crossed, there’s the not so small matter of a post-season meeting, of course.
“I’m sure I can make a big contribution,” Rooney said of his pending move back to England.
Despite having two more seasons left on his deal with DC United, Rooney has cited family reasons as the factor behind the development.
