MLS: Minnesota United v DC United tips | Wayne Rooney on fire

TV: Sky Sports Football, 6.30pm Sunday

Minnesota United are yet to win at their new stadium and they cannot be considered home bankers when Wayne Rooney's DC United head to Allianz Field.

Following draws with New York City and LA Galaxy the hosts will be hoping it is a case of third time lucky in front of their new supporters and boss Adrian Heath will have been pleased to shut out Zlatan Ibrahimovic in midweek.

However, the Loons forgot about attacking in the Galaxy stalemate, forcing just one shot on target, and Minnesota could be vulnerable favourites until the balance of the team is sorted.

DC will have to be wary of Darwin Quintero - the Colombian has scored five times in seven MLS appearances this season - but the visitors have their own attacking ace in Rooney.

The former England captain has scored five times in seven outings and is earning a reputation as a set-piece master to rival his former international teammate David Beckham.

Rooney was at it again last time out, bagging a set-piece winner against Columbus Crew in a 1-0 win.

That was a fifth clean sheet in nine MLS rounds and suggests they can keep it tight in Minnesota.
