MLS deny Rooney's claim of Apple intervention at All-Star game with Arsenal

Major League Soccer have denied Wayne Rooney's claim that Apple employees moved his coaching staff out of their seats during his side's defeat by Arsenal on Wednesday.

Rooney's MLS All-Stars lost 5-0 to the Gunners in Washington DC.

The former England forward said his staff were "kicked out of their seats" by members of the tech company.

The MLS said: "It is not true that any members of Apple's staff were seated in the technical area during the game."

Mikel Arteta's Arsenal side cruised to victory thanks to goals by Gabriel Jesus, Leandro Trossard, Jorginho and Gabriel Martinelli, as well a first for the club for summer signing Kai Havertz.
