It has been reported that Manchester United legend David Beckham wants Wayne Rooney to join his MLS franchise.
The Daily Star Sunday says Becks, 40, believes Manchester United and England skipper Roo will be perfect to spearhead his long cherished plan to launch an USA soccer team in 2018.
He has found a suitable site or a stadium near the Marlins baseball ground.
Beckham has been inundated with calls from players and contacts within football who want to be part of the new team he plans to build with a start date pencilled in for the 2018 season.
Rooney, 29, would be coming to the end of his United contract and is interested in moving to the States with his family.
