Before leaving, the player expressed his wishes that American football players have a better salary within the MLS, because he thinks that the salary cap of $ 10,192 a week that non-designated players have makes the salary not enough.
"I feel that American players get paid badly. I feel they deserve to get more money to stay in line with football in the rest of the world and in terms of American sports, "the soccer player told ESPN FC.
Rooney knows that this changed will not be a help for him, but he thinks that the fair thing is that the salary for the soccer players of the USA is improved, who are doing the same function as the franchise players.
"I'm not saying that it benefits me, obviously I won't be in the league next season. I think it's fair for those players who are doing the same job since everyone has the right to earn more money for doing this. "
