Beaten black and Roo – DC United star breaks nose
Former Manchester United and England star Wayne Rooney scored his first goal for DC United on Saturday - but also broke his nose.
Wayne Rooney marked his first DC United goal by suffering a broken nose.
The ex-England captain got off the mark in MLS by firing through the legs of former Manchester United team-mate Tim Howard as DC beat Colorado Rapids 2-1 on Saturday.
Rooney's joy was tempered by a challenge that left the striker bloodied on his fourth appearance for DC since leaving Everton.
And the 32-year-old, who captained DC for the first time, confirmed the extent of his facial injury in a social media post.
"And a broken nose and five stitches."
