'My day one!' - AC Milan star Christian Pulisic sends throwback birthday message to USMNT team-mate Haji Wright

AC Milan's Christian Pulisic has sent a heart-warming throwback birthday message to fellow USMNT star Haji Wright.

WHAT HAPPENED?
Pulisic boasts an incredible bond with Wright as the pair have played together for a very long time - right through the various age group teams of the USMNT. And to make Wright's birthday a bit more special, the forward shared a throwback picture which could be from their U17 days with the USMNT.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
Wright made a historic comeback in the USMNT setup after 15 months with an incredible brace that propelled Greg Berhalter's troops to the CONCACAF Nations League final against Mexico - which they eventually won by a 2-0 margin. However, it must be noted that the manager first overlooked him and only he was incorporated into the squad after an injury to Josh Sargent.
