The once-promising U.S. international midfielder needs a reset, and GOAL looks at the best options for the 22-year-old
Once touted as a foundational piece of the U.S. men’s national team and ranked among the world’s top 60 prospects in 2019, Yunus Musah, now 22, finds himself fighting to reignite his career with the 2026 World Cup less than a year away.
It has been a turbulent summer for Musah, who opted out of the Gold Cup with the U.S. for personal reasons while his status at AC Milan has been in constant flux. One week, he is linked to a Premier League move. The next, reports suggest new coach Max Allegri intends to keep him. The speculation hasn't slowed, with Musah repeatedly tied to potential transfers across Europe.
The good news for Musah is that there is clearly interest. Yet, the most important factor will be whether or not he will play week in or week out. Being added as a depth piece serves neither him nor the USMNT.
