Although the U.S. coaching staff has been with him since 2019, Musah first appeared on the USMNT during two games last November against Wales and Panama, impressing on and off the pitch.
“Yunus is an exceptional talent. For his age, it’s amazing what he can do, ”said USMNT coach Gregg Berhalter. “When the group first met him, we were immediately attracted to his personality and how great he is. When you watch him play, you realize that he is also very talented. We are very excited, because Yunus is not just a player for today, he is a player for the future. “
Already with two caps, Musah acknowledged the overwhelming support he felt from USMNT fans through social media and his excitement to continue the journey the team is taking while facing the Final Four of the Concacaf Nations League, the Gold Cup and the start of the FIFA World Cup Qualifiers in September.
“US fans have been very warm and made me feel wanted and appreciated,” said Musah. “It is exciting with such a young team. It is good to compete against so many great players for places. It is exciting to see what we can do together. I am sure that we will be able to do great things. “
