Manager Wayne Rooney Leaves DC United

Wayne Rooney has left his role as coach of Major League Soccer side DC United by mutual consent after they missed out on the MLS Cup play-offs

Manchester United’s record goalscorer took up the role with the Washington-based side in July 2022.

He had previously spent 18 months at the club as a player before he joined Derby as player-coach in January 2020.

“It’s the right time. I’ve done everything I can to get this club into the play-offs,” said the 37-year-old.

“It’s not a single thing that’s happened. It’s about timing.”
