The 31-year-old has started 20 games and appeared in 21 since he was acquired from the Chicago Fire on April 2, recording six goals and six assists. Rolfe began his MLS career with Chicago in 2005 and has also made 10 appearances for the U.S. national team.

United entered Thursday in first place in the Eastern Conference with 46 points.
