The new Milan under Ruben Amorim is discovering a polished Yunus Musah, able to carve out an important space in the Rossoneri midfield thanks to his versatility, clean ball handling and his usual overflowing physical strength. The data collected in the first three league matches against Juventus, Venezia and Torino outline the profile of a player becoming increasingly central in the Portuguese coach’s tactical rotations.

Surgical precision in ball handling and finishing

The data that immediately jumps out when analysing Musah’s performance is his incredible accuracy in ball handling. In the three matches examined, the American maintained extremely high pass success rates (93% against Juventus, 92% versus Venezia and 87% at Torino).

The real constant, however, concerns effectiveness in the final third: against Juventus and Venezia he recorded an impeccable 7/7 (100%) in passes completed into the final third, maintaining a perfect (100%) rate also in overall support in all three matches. A clear sign that the 2002‑born is sharpening his decision‑making and precision when it comes to finishing offensive moves.

Ball‑carrying bursts and defensive presence

Beyond his distribution quality, Musah continues to provide the athletic dynamism essential for breaking opponent lines. The match against Torino saw the American unleash seven ball‑carrying runs, confirming himself as a lethal weapon in counter‑attacks.

From the perspective of the defensive phase, the peak was reached in the clash against Venezia, where Musah delivered a total defensive performance: 7 tackles won out of 10 (70%), 3 fouls suffered and 3 balls touched in the opponent’s area, even brushing past a goal with a shot of 0.34 xG. His contribution in terms of balls recovered was also constant, with six in the solid contests against Juventus and Torino.

Ruben Amorim’s guidance is giving Milan a complete midfielder, capable of pairing his usual physical structure with tactical maturity and ball‑handling precision never before seen at these levels.
