A story of redemption and determination. After a mixed experience on loan at Atalanta, Yunus Musah's trajectory seemed destined to separate from Milan during the last summer transfer window. The arrival of Ruben Amorim on the bench, however, completely reversed the scenario: the Portuguese coach strongly wanted to block his departure to study his characteristics up close and insert him into his tactical rotations.

The work on the field with Amorim and the trust in the United States selection

Taking advantage of the opportunities and minutes granted by the new red and black course, the 2002-born midfielder has managed to carve out an important space in Milan's midfield, being appreciated for dynamism, physical strength and a spirit of sacrifice. Although there remain wide margins for improvement in ball management and choices in the final metres, the continuity found at San Siro has once again opened the doors of his national team.

In the friendly match that sees the United States opposite Peru in Orlando, Musah starts as a starter wearing the iconic number 10 shirt of the USA, a testimony to the centrality of his profile within the technical project of the American national team led by Mauricio Pochettino.
