Then he's in the Premier League again with Everton, so I think his career in England was perfect.  "What next? He decides. MLS? In MLS you have always some iconic players who are going to end their career there. You have Gerrard, Lampard, Vieira, so many of them. Now you have Zlatan and Wayne. So I just hope he enjoys it."Of course he will bring the attention that MLS needs to attract more people to steal from the other sports that normally the American people are in love with." Moyes predicted Rooney will go on to be an MLS success story if he completes a move to DC United that is reported to be worth around £12million. "Wayne has been a great player and probably one of the best players to grace the last era of football," the West Ham boss said."I really enjoyed him at Everton - he was really young then - I really enjoyed him at Manchester United, he helped me a lot then."So, I've got to say, if he chooses to go, DC will be getting a good player. He can play in a couple of roles, he's a brilliant goalscorer and I still think he has got more to give."</blockquote>
