What to expect from Wayne Rooney against Atlanta United

Almost a week ago, Wayne Rooney helped draw even more eyes to the opening of Audi Field, coming on as a substitute in his debut as D.C. United beat the Vancouver Whitecaps. United led when Rooney entered, but the English striker helped United earn a win in their first-ever game at the new stadium, playing a part in both goals that Paul Arriola scored, as the Black-and-Red won 3-1.

With another week of training under his belt, is a start against Atlanta United, whom United travel to face this weekend at the Mercedes-Benz Arena, on the horizon?
