Manchester United pay video tribute to 'true legend' Rooney after MLS move
Rooney has signed a three-year-and-a-half-year deal with DC United, a move which has been on the cards since the closing stages of last season.
The former England captain returned to boyhood club Everton for the 2017-18 campaign, but undoubtedly enjoyed the most successful spell of his career at Old Trafford.
During his time with the Red Devils, Rooney became United's all-time record goalscorer, eventually leaving with 253 in 559 appearances before exiting in July 2017 having fallen out of favour under Jose Mourinho.
Following a United a career that yielded five Premier League titles, three League Cups, an FA Cup medal and a Champions League success, Rooney will forever be entrenched in the club's history.
And United sent their former star a good luck message ahead of his venture Stateside, labelling Rooney a "true legend".
A true #MUFC legend.
Thank you for the memories and best of luck in @MLS, @WayneRooney! pic.twitter.com/kAMgS0lUrD— Manchester United (@ManUtd) June 28, 2018
