Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney has warned Lionel Messi that he won’t find life in MLS easy at new club Inter Miami.
The D.C. United boss says the World Cup winner will find the division tough even though Busquets and Jordi Alba will join him at his new club.
Rooney told The Times:
Everything is set for him. He’s got all his mates over! [Sergio] Busquets and Jordi Alba have signed for Inter Miami and maybe [Andrés] Iniesta will join them. Luis Suárez too. Messi has a coach [Inter Miami manager Tata Martino] he likes and trusts.
It’s huge, especially with what’s going on in Saudi, for the MLS to attract Messi. He won’t find it easy here. It sounds mad, but players who come in find it’s a tough league. The travelling, the different conditions in different cities, and there’s a lot of energy and intensity on the pitch.”
Messi will debut next month after the league takes a month-long summer break. Inter Miami have not won any of their last 11 games and are currently the worst team in the league.
