Wayne Rooney should consider move to Major League Soccer

On Tuesday, Wayne Rooney‘s decline officially went international, as he sat and watched England play Slovenia in a World Cup qualifier from the bench. His eventual appearance in the dismal 0-0 draw as a 73rd-minute substitute confirmed that Rooney now rides the bench as captain for both club and country, while not being considered good enough to regularly earn a starting place for either.

“I’ve played 13 years non-stop for England, given everything,” Rooney bravely said at a press conference on Monday. Stoic and professional, he then admitted, “A time comes when you’re not the first name on the team sheet.”

Fast approaching his 31st birthday, Rooney’s futures with England and Manchester United promise to cannibalize one another. The lack of time with the Red Devils is sure to eventually see England’s all-time goal scorer overlooked for selection when the Three Lions pack their bags for Russia in the 2018 World Cup (assuming they qualify, of course). Likewise, his inability to feature for England makes it tough to justify selection over other international players at Old Trafford.

So, where does this all lead for “Wazza?”

How about Major League Soccer?
