There is an opportunity for Yunus Musah in the upcoming international window to cement his place on the United States Men’s National Team. With several players missing, the midfielder may be relied upon to wield a substantial amount of influence on both sides of the ball. That is heavy responsibility for an 18-year-old, a wunderkind on an already young USMNT squad searching for an identity. His career has already featured bold moves on and off the field, earning constant attention in the media.
Musah was born in New York City, while his mother was visiting.
