Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney is a target for Los Angeles FC
Los Angeles FC will make their debut in 2018 and are keen to lure the Manchester United and England captain across the Atlantic.
Rooney has been in and out of the side for both club and country this season, fuelling speculation he could be set to quit Old Trafford at the end of the season.

LA owner and president Tom Penn revealed yesterday that Rooney tops a shortlist of players they want for their first campaign.
“Wayne Rooney is an example of the calibre of player we are looking to bring to LA FC,” Penn said.
“We are still 18 months away from our first MLS game, so we will see if players of Rooney’s status and reputation are interested.
“LA FC is a club with the ambition to match its surroundings, so it is important for us to attract players with a global reputation.
“He is one of 10 names we are looking at, but we are a long way from signing anybody up right now.”
Rooney will miss tonight’s England friendly with Spain after missing training yesterday with what the FA described as a minor ‘muscular injury’.
