Wayne Rooney Confirms Huge Summer Arsenal Decision

Following the club’s confirmation of preparations, Arsenal will travel to the United States in the summer of 2023 to prepare for the 2023–24 season.

After three games in a week against Everton, Orlando City, and Chelsea last year, the Gunners will travel to the United States for the second year in a row.

On July 19, Arteta’s men will fly to Washington, D.C., to take on a group of players from Major League Soccer. Due to the match being played in the city of D.C. United, where Wayne Rooney serves as head coach, the All-Star team this year will be led by the legendary Premier League player.

This year’s edition of the fixture will be Rooney’s third-time appearing in the annual fixture.

He played for Manchester United in a 4-0 victory in New Jersey in 2011 in front of 26,760 fans before playing for the MLS All-Stars against Atletico Madrid in 2019.
