USMNT star Yunus Musah reacts to AC Milan's Europa League triumph over Slavia Prague as midfielder impresses on rare start

The USMNT midfielder took advantage of a rare start with a classy performance in midfield in Prague. The 21-year-old was at the heart of several progressive moves as he completed just his third full game of the year so far.

"Onto the quarter-finals," posted Musah on Instagram alongside images of his side in action.

Musah spoke to Milan TV — in impressive Italian — after the game about his role in the side, saying: "I always try my best to be ready when called upon; I don't know when that will be, but I'm happy whenever the coach needs me to play and try to give my all."

The former Valencia man's strong showing will surely have impressed manager Stefano Pioli as he stakes a claim for more playing time in Milan.

Musah and compatriot Christian Pulisic's reward for reaching the Europa League last eight was a tough draw against Serie A rivals Roma. If they negotiate that, the Rossoneri will face the winners of Bayer Leverkusen and West Ham for a place in the final in Dublin.
