March 31, 2019 From another free kick deep in the corner, Rooney somehow curled the ball over the Orlando City goalkeeper and into the back of the net, a stunning goal from a nearly impossible angle which sent Twitter into a frenzy.
Wayne Rooney. Few Men have come to America with a more positive attitude and had a total blast as a result. It is a human joy to witness ---------- @dcunited pic.twitter.com/DxyZIEKFBj

April 1, 2019 Orlando City pulled a goal back in the second half but United held on to earn all three points, Rooney's ridiculous free kick proving the difference.
3 points are 3 points, but my god did those final 5 minutes take a few years off my life. #dcu

April 1, 2019 United now tops the Eastern Conference with 10 points (three wins, one draw) through four games. And with Rooney scoring goals like this, United could very well win its first conference title since 2014.
