D.C. United coach Wayne Rooney has received a huge boost ahead of resuming duties in the MLS league.
In question is the Belgian international, Christian Benteke, a recent Crystal Palace player.
After 10 years in the Premier League, Benteke decided to change the midfield, and he signed a contract with the team from Washington for two and a half years.
Rooney, who recently took over the club’s club, does not hide his delight at his appointment.
- Christian is a top player who has played at the highest level for a long time. His vast experience, ability to score goals and help the team will be invaluable. It is a great pleasure for the team and me that he will play for us. I expect him to make a huge difference in our favor – said Wayne Rooney.
Let’s recall that Benteke played for Aston Villa, Liverpool and Crystal Palace during his career on the “Island”. He scored 86 goals with 23 assists in 280 Premier League games.
