Roo stepped on to the turf with DC United 1-0 up - as England's all-time record scorer played a key role in the Washington club's second and third goals.


But it wasn't the ex-Manchester united star's on-field antics that had fans talking.



Instead, people just couldn't get over DC United's bizarre description of new-boy Rooney in their matchday programme.


The segment read like it was straight from "US Soccer Guy's" Twitter account - featuring some dreadful and occasionally factually incorrect cliches.

Some instant classics in the segment include Rooney "being known to deceive goalkeepers by finessing shots across the goal line".



And let's not forget his time in the "European Premier League".


Naturally, Twitter latched on to the hilarious gaffes... here's what some social media users had to say.
