Man Utd legend wows as he scores 70-yard wonder goal

Wayne Rooney scored another wonder goal to add to his glittering collection as DC United returned to winning ways against Orlando City in MLS.

The former England captain and Manchester United ace scored the only goal after 10 minutes from inside his own half to give his side their first victory in six MLS matches.

United cleared the ball after an Orlando attack and, after a mix-up between Robin Jansson and Sacha Kljestan, it fell into Rooney’s path some 70 yards from the visitors’ goal.

The 33-year-old spotted Brian Rowe outside of his penalty area and went for goal, his effort sailing over the goalkeeper and into the net to spark wild celebrations as DC remained third in the Eastern Conference.
