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.

Violence erupts in The Hague as police clash with anti-migration protesters, leading to arrests and injuries ahead of elections.

Violence broke out in The Hague as Dutch police deployed tear gas and water cannons to disperse thousands of anti migration demonstrators. The protest, organised by a right wing activist just weeks before a national election, turned chaotic with thirty people arrested and two officers injured.

Protesters waved Dutch flags and far right symbols while clashing with authorities, throwing rocks and bottles. A police car was set alight, a highway was blocked, and the headquarters of the centre left D66 party was vandalised, with its leader condemning the destruction as an attack on democracy.

Far right leader Geert Wilders, who currently leads in opinion polls, condemned the violence despite being invited to attend.
