More with less: why Wayne Rooney may just be the ideal fit for DC United

Even the intricacies and idiosyncrasies of Major League Soccer will feel like a breeze for the former England star compared to his experience at Derby

DC United are set to announce Wayne Rooney as their new manager on Tuesday afternoon, as their former player takes his second managerial job following a challenging stint with Derby County in the English Championship.

As a player, Rooney was one of the finest England has ever produced, as evidenced by the fact he is the all-time top scorer at both Manchester United and the national team. His spell in Major League Soccer was a successful, respectable one, too, something not all the high-profile former England internationals who spent time in the league can say.
