VIDEO: Weston McKennie picks himself & Christian Pulisic in dream USMNT 5-a-side but who else makes the cut?

The United States are considered to be working with a “golden generation” at present, with the vast majority of their Copa America squad plying their club trade in Europe. They have players competing in the Premier League, Serie A, La Liga, Bundesliga, Ligue 1 and Eredivisie.

McKennie forms part of that pack, as he prepares to sever ties with Italian giants Juventus, and is considered to be a key part of Gregg Berhalter’s plans heading towards the 2026 World Cup – which will be co-hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico.

With the USMNT currently chasing down a continental crown on home soil, McKennie has been asked by Juventus’ official media channels to select a dream 5-a-side team made up of fellow countrymen. He picked himself, AC Milan forward Pulisic and Bianconeri team-mate Tim Weah. When offering a nod to heroes from years gone by, he found room for Clint Dempsey and former Manchester United and Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard – saying of the decision to overlook current colleague Matt Turner between the sticks: “I love you Matt, no hard feelings at all.”

McKennie helped the USMNT to get their 2024 Copa America campaign off to a winning start, with Pulisic on target in their 2-0 victory over Bolivia. They will be back in action on Thursday when facing Panama at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
