With a goal after eight minute and a second half penalty, the former Manchester United number 10, 32, has taken his goal tally to 12 in his debut MLS season. The Everton striker has also contributed seven assists in his 19 appearances for the club.
DC United now have 9 game wins under their belt after their slow start to the season with the team seeing only 2 wins in their first 14 games. But now they have gained momentum and have won their past five matches.
When the former England captain and Manchester United’s record goal scorer joined DC United, they were at the bottom of the Eastern Conference.
After climbing to 5th place, for the 1st time since 2015 the club DC has reached the post season of the MLS. Rooney’s addition to the squad has really made a significant boost to the club.
