England’s all-time leading goal scorer will head to the U.S. in a managerial role with D.C. United

Wayne Rooney is returning to D.C. United, after previously spending 18 months at the club as captain.

The 36-year-old made 48 appearances, where he scored 23 goals and 15 assists.

It’s Rooney’s second management role after leaving Derby County last month.

The football icon says he spoke to his wife about the new position, and is looking forward to the challenges that lie ahead. He also responded to critics in England.

“I’ve seen a few articles, certainly back in England, on this being a possible backward step in my managerial career. I really find that a bit disrespectful to this league.”

He says there were offers from clubs in England and Europe but ultimately it was the Washington-based side that won him over.

For the time being, his wife and kids will stay back home. They will visit when they get the chance.

The club has confirmed Interim head coach Chad Ashton will remain in charge of the team until Rooney has received his working visa.
