What has made Yunus Musah ‘really happy’ at AC Milan? USMNT star reveals why he can ‘grow a lot’ in Italy

The versatile 20-year-old completed a transfer to San Siro over the summer from La Liga side Valencia. He has settled quickly in new surroundings, with the presence of international team-mate Christian Pulisic helping him to hit the ground running.

Musah has already earned the trust of the coaching staff at Milan, with six Serie A appearances taken in and one assist contributed while helping the Rossoneri to the top of the table. He has told Gazzetta dello Sport of his early experiences in Italy: “Mister [Stefano] Pioli has put a lot of trust in me, and I’m really happy in Milan, it’s a place where I believe I can grow a lot.”

Musah is currently away with the United States during the October international break, but he already has one eye on a heavyweight encounter with Juventus when returning to domestic competition. He has said of that fixture, which will take place on October 22: “It will be great. I hope to be there as a starter, that would be a really beautiful moment.”

Musah started for the United States in their 3-1 defeat to Germany and will be hoping to retain his place for another friendly date against Ghana – allowing him to return to Milan with plenty of competitive minutes under his belt.
