Rooney sees 'huge impact' in MLS hailed by former Man Utd team-mate Schweinsteiger

Wayne Rooney has made a “huge impact” at D.C. United since trading life in the Premier League for that in MLS, says former Manchester United team-mate Bastian Schweinsteiger.

The ex-England captain was deemed surplus to requirements at Everton after just one season back at Goodison Park, with that decision paving the way for him to head to America.

The 32-year-old is enjoying a welcome return to form in Washington, with seven goals netted in 15 appearances.
