Yunus Musah of USMNT has been in scintillating form for Serie A side AC Milan since joining from Spanish La Liga side Valencia.
Musah is the second youngest signing of the summer after Luka Romero and he has shown that age is just a number with his performance.

Speaking on the ‘1 on 1’ segment on DAZN, Yunus Musah said: “It was wonderful to make my debut at San Siro.”
“I had never been there, I was impressed by the Curva, they sing for the whole match. Sometimes you can’t even hear the referee’s whistle, it’s so loud.”
