For European stars serving in the MLS, it is common practice to rent for a few months during the winter break in the North American league..

According to forward United DC player Wayne Rooney, he prefers to stay in the US.

"I'm not going to leave for rent during a break in the MLS".

"In the off season I will stay in the USA. I want to spend more time with my children who are attending a local school ".

"I will come to England during the Christmas holidays, because I want to see my relatives and friends".

"I plan to devote myself to DC United. I am committed to this club, because, in my opinion, renting will be wrong ", Rooney concluded.

This season, Wayne scored 12 goals in 19 matches MLS.
