Wayne Rooney's DC United end nightmare run and win match with Christian Benteke playing despite manchester united jersey pink not training with team
WAYNE ROONEY'S DC United FINALLY won a match – thanks to a helping hand from new arrival Christian Benteke.
The former England skipper's team had lost five and drawn one of their first six games in August.
That included a 6-0 drubbing at home by Philadelphia as Rooney struggled to weave his magic in the dugout since switching Derby for DC in July.
But they got a crucial three points away at New York City on Wednesday night.
And that included new-signing Benteke getting 17 minutes of action off the bench – despite touching down in New York just 24 hours earlier and still not even going to Washington yet.
The former Aston Villa, Liverpool and Crystal Palace striker, 31, signed as one of the designated players almost four weeks ago on August 5.
