McKennie told to score '10 goals this season' as USMNT star set Juventus challenge by Allegri

The returning Bianconeri boss wants to see the talented young midfielder make a bigger contribution in the final third in 2021-22

Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri has challenged United States national team star Weston McKennie to score "10 goals this season".

Allegri took charge of his first match since returning to the Allianz Stadium on Saturday as the Bianconeri got their latest pre-season campaign under way.

A youthful Juve side managed to pick up a 3-1 win against Serie C outfit Cesena, with McKennie scoring arguably the goal of the game with a sublime solo effort just after the half-hour mark.
