Wayne Rooney cleared to make D.C. United coaching debut Sunday
Almost three weeks after being appointed D.C. United’s head coach, Wayne Rooney will make his MLS sideline debut Sunday afternoon at Audi Field.
Chad Ashton, United’s interim coach since late April, confirmed Friday that Rooney, an Englishman who played for the club in 2018-19, had received his work visa and will oversee the match against Orlando City.
“He’ll be patrolling the sidelines this weekend,” Ashton said on the team’s weekly media call. “We’re looking forward to that. A little more normalcy involved” in the coaching setup.
