Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney tried to bring two ex-players from the club to the United States.

Rooney tried to bring former United players Jesse Lingard and Ravel Morrison to DC United.

The Red Devils hero is head coach at the Washington, DC based MLS team at present.

According to the Washington Post, Lingard held talks with the club this summer as a free agent.

However, he wanted a long-term contract for more money than DC were willing to offer.

Lingard told Sky Sports recently: "I'm considering all options. I've never ruled out any team or club out, so for me it's just picking the right team and it's got to be right for me.

"I just want to play football at the end of the day and that's all I want to do."
