5 world-class players who could be on their way to the MLS soon

#3 Wayne Rooney

Rooney could follow in the footsteps of his brother John who played in the MLS in 2011 and 2012

Yes, we know, we know that Wayne Rooney has only recently moved back to his boyhood club Everton. But, do you think Rooney prefers to go through the rigours of Premier League football after having won everything there is on offer in club football during his time at Manchester United?

Rooney himself has admitted that he might consider a move to MLS later in his career and with things not looking too bright for Everton thus far, it is perhaps time for Rooney to enjoy some time in the MLS.

Rooney is currently in the 1st of his 2-year contract at Everton, and while he still occasionally finds the back of the net and is seen as the leading creative force at the club, he is definitely no longer the Wayne Rooney who possessed the ability to torment defences, with age taking its toll on his body.

The Englishman has been linked with MLS clubs in the past as well and could gain valuable inputs on the league from his brother John Rooney who played for New York Red Bulls and Orlando City. Should he move, Rooney could follow in the footsteps of England teammates Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard who ended their professional careers in the MLS.
