Former Manchester United striker, Wayne Rooney, has told seven-time Balon d’Or winner, Lionel Messi, not to expect an easy ride after moving to the United States to join Major League Soccer (MLS) club, Inter Miami.
Messi recently signed for Inter Miami as a free agent and disclosed over the weekend he will be snubbing boyhood club Barcelona.
Rooney, who is currently the coach of DC United, is hoping that the 35-year-old’s MLS debut could happen against his side.
Inter Miami will face DC United in Washington on July 8.
While talking to reporters, Rooney said: “It’d be nice if we were his first opponents for D.C. fans to see him up close and for us to challenge ourselves against him.
“One thing I will say is that it’s not going to be easy for him. The league’s a difficult league, and I don’t think he’s going to come over here and absolutely tear it up immediately.
“He’ll have to adapt because it’s a bit different; it won’t be an easy ride for him.”
