Kenny Cooper (born October 21, 1984 in Baltimore, Maryland) is an American soccer player, who currently plays for FC Dallas of Major League Soccer.
Cooper signed for Manchester United on a free transfer in 2003, after playing youth soccer with the Dallas Solar 85 Soccer Club. He was the Dallas area high school player of the year while playing for Jesuit College Preparatory School, where he graduated in 2003.
Cooper played in the United reserve squad, and was loaned at the start of the 2004-05 season to Académica Coimbra of Portugal. However, the loan was terminated after half a season due to Cooper seeing very limited playing time, and after a brief stay in Manchester, he was loaned out to Oldham Athletic. Manchester United released Cooper midway through the 2005-06 season and he came back to the U.S. to sign with the hometown MLS club, FC Dallas. He scored 11 goals in his first season.
Before playing for FC Dallas he made one appearance for the Wearside club, Sunderland A.F.C
Cooper got his first cap and first goal for the US national team on January 20, 2007 against Denmark where he scored a goal after coming on near the end of the game. He then played in the Guetamala game as a second half sub.
Cooper's father, Kenny Cooper Sr., is English and played professionally in England and the United States as well as serving as a long-time head coach of the Baltimore Blast.
