USMNT star Yunus Musah makes history by surpassing Christian Pulisic, Landon Donovan and Jozy Altidore with record-breaking appearance vs Trinidad & Tobago

The announcement came via U.S. Soccer on social media platform X, formerly Twitter, making it known that the young midfielder broke the record previously held by Christian Pulisic, Landon Donovan and Jozy Altidore. Musah committed to the USMNT on March 15, 2021 - 980 days ago - becoming only one of 12 players to make their debut with the USMNT prior to their 18th birthday.

Musah has become the single most-capped under-21 player in the history of the program, which is staggering. The Milan midfielder has become a mainstay in Gregg Berhalter's side, moving into a starting role to replace the injured Tyler Adams, and has now made himself indispensable to the USA boss. He represented England at different youth levels, but opted for the USMNT as a teenager.

The most-capped player in USMNT history is Cobi Jones, who managed 164 appearances over his career.

The USMNT will move to 2024 now, with the CONCACAF Nations League semifinals and the Copa America on the horizon. Despite their 2-1 loss Monday evening, the U.S. advanced on aggregate and qualified for the Games in Paris at the same time. Next on the agenda for Musah, meanwhile, is returning to AC Milan and preparing for the Serie A meeting with Fiorentina on November 25.
