Frank Lampard urges John Terry, Wayne Rooney to consider MLS move

Former England midfielder Frank Lampard urges John Terry and Wayne Rooney to consider a move to the MLS this summer.

Former England midfielder Frank Lampard has urged John Terry and Wayne Rooney to consider a move to the MLS as the duo prepare to leave their respective clubs ahead of the 2017-18 campaign.

Terry will be available on a free transfer this summer after running down his contract at Chelsea, while Rooney has been strongly linked with a move away from Manchester United after struggling for first-team football last season.

Terry has been linked with a number of English clubs in recent weeks, and there has been a host of speculation surrounding potential Chinese Super League interest in United's all-time leading scorer Rooney.

Lampard, however, has urged his former England teammates to try their hand in the MLS next term.

"I would recommend the MLS to any player at any stage of their career," Lampard told reporters. "I feel the Premier League is the greatest league in the world but the MLS is very fast growing and I would only have great things to say about it to someone like John, Wayne or other players.

"Go there and play, it's competitive, the way of life over there is brilliant and most stadiums are selling out week in, week out."

Lampard scored 15 times in 31 appearances for New York City FC between 2015 and 2016, before announcing his retirement from professional football in February 2017.
