Wayne Rooney will lead D.C. United for the first time in a full season on Saturday (save any rumors of him returning early to England).
Why it matters: D.C. United’s recent struggles have let down the beer-soaked Audi Field fans. Rooney now wants the four-time MLS Cup champions to adopt a high-energy playing style.
On the field, Rooney urges his team to play harder than ever in order to regain possession and remain “f***ing organized” in a recent training ground video.
“It takes balls, it takes daring,” he says, pepping a squad that finished dead last in last year’s Eastern Conference.
What to watch for: Christian Benteke is one of United’s strikers.
