Wayne Rooney said taking over as head coach of DC United was not a "backward step" after the Major League Soccer club confirmed the former Manchester United and England forward's appointment on Tuesday.
At present, the European football transfer revolving door is in full swing. Players are looking for new clubs and clubs are looking for new players with massive transfer fees flowing in the opposite direction. With many new confirmed transfers emerging in recent days, it seems that a move for Champions League winner Christian Pulisic could be on the cards.
Midfielders are the heartbeat of any soccer side. They control the pace of play, create chances, contribute to attack and defense and oversee the transition between the two. With technique, creativity and intelligence, a world class midfielder is a joy to watch.

Liverpool unveiled its 2022-23 away kit Tuesday and promptly handed it a debut in a preseason friendly against Manchester United at Rajamangala Stadium in Bangkok. The thing might be cursed after Jürgen Klopp's side fell 4-0 to Erik ten Hag and The Revolution, but we should still celebrate a kit that celebrates nights of sweat dripping from the ceiling.
Preseason friendlies are well and truly underway, and certainly, at face value, the contest between Manchester United and Liverpool stuck out among the best of the summer.

Ten years after Paul Pogba left Manchester United to sign with Italian side Juventus on a free transfer, history repeated itself on Monday as the France midfielder bid farewell to the Premier League and returned to the Serie A club.
Pogba, who left United when his contract expired last month, has signed a four-year contract with Juventus that will tie the 29-year-old down with the Turin club until June 2026.
D.C. United is in a bad place right now. One of Major League Soccer’s flagship clubs suffered its worst-ever defeat on Friday night, a 7-0 humbling from the Philadelphia Union to fall to 13th in the Eastern Conference with the second-lowest point total in the league. So maybe these Wayne Rooney D.C. United coach rumors aren’t such a bad idea.
Ever wondered which Premier League club’s fans drink the most? Of course you have, you’re a fan of The18, where we drink, watch soccer and drink some more (always responsibly, naturally).
Chelsea midfielders N'Golo Kanté and Ruben Loftus-Cheek will not feature in the club's preseason tour to the United States due to their COVID-19 vaccination status, the Premier League side said on Saturday.
Entry rules for the U.S. say that all visitors over 18, barring American citizens and other limited exceptions, must be double vaccinated against the virus.
It was unclear whether the two players were unvaccinated or had received only one dose.
