Portland Timbers owner says Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney would be a great signing for Major League Soccer in the US.
England’s record goalscorer still has three years left on the five‑year Manchester United contract he signed in February 2014 for a reported salary of 300,000 pounds a week.
As one of the biggest stars in English football for the past decade, Rooney would have plenty of interest should he decide to move away from Manchester and follow fellow countrymen such as Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard to the United States.
Manchester United will play Hull City at 4.30am Sunday.
