Ex-Manchester United and England captain Wayne Rooney has demonstrated that he's still got 'it', after pulling off an incredible assist deep into stoppage time to help new club D.C. United beat Orlando City in Major League Soccer on Sunday.
Rooney, who took a major pay cut to join D.C. United, spoke of his 'hunger to be a success' when he made the switch from Everton to North America last month. And it clearly wasn't just an empty sound bite given how he turned potential defeat into victory on Sunday.
With the score tied at 2-2 in the last of six added minutes and Orlando breaking 3-vs-1 towards an empty goal, Rooney performed an inch perfect sliding tackle to win the ball back, before getting to his feet and driving into the Orlando half.
