Wayne Rooney will manage a Major League Soccer All-Star team against Arsenal this summer.

The Athletic reported that current Premier League leaders Arsenal had been lined up as opposition for a showpiece game at D.C. United’s Audi Field in July.

The fixture in Washington on July 19 has now been confirmed, with former Manchester United striker and current D.C. United head coach Rooney pitting his wits against Mikel Arteta.

Rooney said he was relishing the occasion against a “top Premier League club”.
