The miseducation of Yunus Musah at Milan
Before Yunus Musah could collect a pass from Kyle Walker early in the first half, a Fiorentina opponent was converging. The quick action should not have come as a surprise for the 22-year-old. Musah's stock rose on the back of some precocious play with Valencia and the U.S. men's national team, particularly as a box-to-box midfielder. When presented with space into which to run, his athleticism and close-control dribbling has allowed him to quickly progress upfield. When presented with little room to roam, he has shown a willingness to keep it conservative and recirculate. Advertisement On April 5, however, Musah was not playing as a number 8. Instead, AC Milan manager Sergio Conceição lined Musah up in a double-pivot alongside Youssouf Fofana, facing Fiorentina's three-man engine room. It was a more withdrawn role than his preferred utilization, but the hope was that the similar role description would still set Musah up to succeed. Back to that ball from Walker. In the seventh minute, Musah was moving toward his defense to collect a pass up the channel from the England international. Fiorentina's numerical advantage put Nicolò Fagioli in prime position to quickly pounce, and Musah attempted to dribble around the Italian. It's a natural maneuver on the wing, but one that requires precise execution in the heart of the park. Unfortunately for him, he wasn't so nimble on this occasion. The ball trickled away from Musah and right to Fiorentina, giving the visitors a chance for an unexpected short-field counter. Another midfielder, Rolando Mandragora, collected the ball and caught Fofana in two minds about whether to converge or let off and pick up another defensive mark. It created enough time for Mandragora to bypass Fofana with a quick pass to Albert Gudmundsson, who dribbled toward the touchline and crossed in front of the goalmouth for a clumsy tapped-in own goal. A brutal start for Milan 😳 Yunus Musah gives possession away and ends in a own goal for the Rossoneri 👀 — CBS Sports Golazo ⚽️ (@CBSSportsGolazo) April 5, 2025 Merely seven seconds passed from Musah's dribble attempt to Fiorentina opening the scoring. After tracking back in vain, Musah looked to the sky in dejection. No teammate approached to console him. Minutes later, Fiorentina doubled its lead. Musah had done well to recover and defend Walker's usual terrain down the right flank, but when he forced his opponent to pass backwards, it was to a player standing where Musah would usually be in midfield. His unmarked cross flew into the box, leading to an easy squared assist for a Moise Kean finish. Advertisement Even after his team halved its deficit, Musah was visibly shaken. In the 23rd minute, Conceição made a dramatic first-half tactical substitution, pulling Musah for another striker and dropping Tijjani Reijnders back into midfield. Although Milan rescued a 2-2 draw, this was a missed chance to make up ground in Serie A against a team directly above them in the table. It was also an awful shift for Musah, who has been an unused substitute in each of Milan's two ensuing matches. As the 2024-25 campaign nears its end – and the second leg of the Coppa Italia semifinals vs. rival Inter Milan beckons on Wednesday – he looks to be a shell of the prospect who was among Europe's most promising midfielders less than two years ago. For a player whose trademark characteristic is his smile, there's been little to celebrate in a setback of a season. At this point of 2023, Musah looked to have outgrown Valencia. Then just 20, he had drawn plenty of praise for his breakout performance at the 2022 World Cup, teaming with Weston McKennie and Tyler Adams to give the U.S. a coherent midfield trio. Musah didn't have McKennie's vivacious personality, nor Adams' tireless work rate, but his technical ability and linking of both the defense to the midfield and the midfield to the forward line made him an essential part of Gregg Berhalter's side. He had also become a mainstay for his club, logging 2,120 minutes in La Liga. By and large, those shifts came as a central midfielder, just as they had in Qatar. It was easy to see why Milan was among his suitors, as then-manager Stefano Pioli's team had a clear need for a progressive box-to-box midfielder. They got their man, spending £17 million ($21.8 million) to sign Musah shortly after acquiring Pulisic. While Musah was still filling other roles, especially out wide, this was the year that saw Valencia work to refine his game in the heart of the park. Previously, the club had alternated him between midfield and right wingback, enjoying his progressive dribbles as an outlet to build up the pitch. The concentrated focus in midfield helped show he could fit the role, and this was the year (and set of shifts) that ultimately won Milan's favor. Advertisement Throughout 2023-24, Pioli experimented more with a base 4-3-3 formation. It was a natural alternative to the 4-2-3-1 that Milan used heavily throughout Pioli's tenure, and one that provided Musah with shifts in his preferred role. While Musah was needed to play other roles, from a deeper defensive midfield spot to a few roles along the right flank, he still logged much of his minutes in central midfield. More importantly, it helped Milan to a second-place finish in Serie A after finishing fourth a year prior. However, Pioli announced his plan to depart the club as the season neared its end. Paulo Fonseca was appointed before the start of preseason in early June. Fonseca operated in a base 4-2-3-1, only sparingly shifting to a three-man midfield. Poor results led to his sacking in late December, with Conceição stepping in to start the new year. While his approach asked for more long balls and direct attacks than Fonseca's, Milan still predominantly stayed in a 4-2-3-1 with a double-pivot at its midfield base. In Serie A, Milan has used a three-man midfield just three times since changing coaches. As a result, Musah has had less time in his preferred role than at any point of his senior career. To understand why Musah's ever-changing role could directly lead to his awful 23 minutes against Fiorentina, let's strip the situation down to its basics. Here is a young midfielder who was signed on the back of his box-to-box work. Currently, Milan does not play with a true number 8, leaving Musah to bring his approach to either defensive midfield or attacking midfield. The more advanced role invites a player to take more risks: more of the dribbles Musah enjoys taking, more high-risk passing. This is where Musah has spent the most of his time in 2024-25. Against Fiorentina, those same actions (like the dribble leading to the own goal) are more dangerous when attempted in a player's defensive half. There are fewer lines of teammates to bail someone out after a mishap, and less time to form a makeshift defensive shape. An opponent of their caliber will hardly be wasteful when such a gift finds them. Advertisement Each role also asks a player to read a game in different ways. This isn't a new issue for USMNT players at the club level, with McKennie and Pulisic having to change roles throughout their careers based on teammates' availability and their coaches' wishes. A young midfielder like Musah may drift even further from their eventual home as their athleticism outpaces their game reading. Before establishing himself as a defensive midfielder, Adams logged many shifts at fullback and wingback with his boyhood New York Red Bulls. Another midfielder on the 2022 World Cup squad, Kellyn Acosta, did similar time upon breaking through with FC Dallas. For years, his midfield shifts were scattered in between starts at either fullback position. In his 'My Game in My Words' installment on The Athletic, Acosta recalled that shifts at outside back allowed him to 'take multiple touches and find my pass' without the quick decision-making necessary to navigate a crowded midfield. 'As I was younger, it was one of those things where you don't want to make a mistake,' Acosta said in 2022. 'You're like 'OK, I received the ball from my center back; the safe option is often to go back to the center back.' Eventually, I started connecting passes and being more daring. I started being more comfortable with overlapping, finding space, taking shots, getting assists, crossing. As the games went on, I felt more and more comfortable.' Eventually, those reps were put into action as Acosta carved a role in midfield. Across 58 senior international caps with the U.S., the overwhelming majority were as a central or defensive midfielder. Of course, the 29-year-old Acosta has spent his entire career to date in MLS. With Dallas, the Colorado Rapids, Los Angeles FC and the Chicago Fire, Acosta has been a primary target each time he moves clubs. Colorado, LAFC and Chicago all signed Acosta to fill a specific role in their midfield. When a young player like Musah leaves a relegation-zone side in La Liga for a Champions League qualifier in Serie A, his immediate role is best defined as 'a squad option.' He's there to patch holes, and the versatile skillset that made him seem like such a promising midfielder can be transposed to fill a lot of gaps as first-choice options are hurt, need a rest or are out of form. Tack on Milan's pair of coaching changes and sustained poor form over the last 10 months, and there's no room for a coach to ride out a developing midfielder in hopes that time will refine his rough edges. The stakes are too high for Milan to exhibit that kind of patience, and players will be graded on the same pass/fail curve whether they're young or old. Advertisement Make a mistake like Musah's against Fiorentina, and the ensuing first-half hook and two games as an unused substitute are a sad reality of the situation he signed on to enter. Playing for the best club possible still provides a player with trade-offs. For someone in critical developmental years like Musah, who hasn't looked any more evolved than he did in Valencia's most hapless stretches, it may be too great a sacrifice without a makeweight payout. Even the nature of this latest gaffe suggests that playing in the defensive half is too negative of an assignment given how Musah approaches the game. That dribble was his instinctive reaction to a converging defender, rather than a safer recirculated pass attempt or clearance out of bounds. Milan will need to retool its squad again whether or not Conceição is brought back. Musah's name has understandably been in transfer rumors, with his status as a homegrown in England (after years in Arsenal's academy) inviting links to Premier League sides like Newcastle, Nottingham Forest and Tottenham. If Musah leaves, the global status of his suitors ought to be of secondary importance. With time running short before the 2026 World Cup, the priority has to be getting him into a situation where he can dependably earn the right to play in his preferred slot. If he can return to his best form and improve upon it with consistent playing time in midfield, he could ensure that Mauricio Pochettino builds his squad with Musah at its heart. If not, then one of the breakout players of the 2022 World Cup could be a non-factor altogether just four years later.

‘Premier League engine' not enough as Musah makes another fatal mistake
'Premier League engine' not enough as Musah makes another fatal mistake Yunus Musah had a tough evening at work as Sergio Conceicao decided to sub him off after just 23 minutes against Fiorentina, following a huge mistake at the back. Musah started to the right in Milan's 4-2-3-1 formation last night, with Christian Pulisic playing in the centre, and it's a decision that was questioned before the game. Sure enough, just seven minutes into the game, the American made a huge mistake to gift Fiorentina the opening goal. Advertisement Receiving the ball in the middle of the pitch, slightly to the right, Musah only needed to make a simple pass and he wasn't under extreme pressure either. However, he completely scuffed the pass and Fiorentina were able to pick up the loose ball, making the most of it. Premier League engine irrelevant In recent weeks, Musah was described as having 'a Premier League engine' given his work-rate and ability to cover lots of space on the pitch. However, as we also pointed out in the player ratings last night, that doesn't matter much if you can't get the basics right. Unfortunately for Musah, there have been too many silly mistakes this season and yesterday's misplaced pass certainly isn't an isolated incident. When playing for a club like Milan, you simply cannot afford those mistakes, let alone multiple times in a single season. Advertisement Conceicao's decision to take him off after just 23 minutes, resulting in Musah running down the tunnel, was harsh but also not unjustified. The astounding thing is that it has happened before this season too, when the American was subbed off after 30 minutes against Lazio. Why Conceicao continues to opt for the midfielder, only to waste a sub almost immediately, is thus another interesting question to ask. In any case, the point is that Musah has had more than enough chances to prove his quality and, above all, gain consistency. But he has failed. Future away from Milan With a rebuild expected in the summer, which could be led by Tony D'Amico or Igli Tare, it's only reasonable to think that Musah will pack his bags. That being said, given his age and potential (yes, there actually is potential), a loan seems more likely than a permanent move. Advertisement If he can play a full season with another Serie A team, gaining experience and eliminating the mistakes from his game, then a future at Milan cannot be ruled out. In fact, when put like that, it sounds like a very good solution to a complicated issue. On the other hand, an eye must be kept on the mercato as Musah has attracted interest despite the mistakes, which could lead to a permanent sale. Milan bought him for around €21m in the summer of 2023 and a similar figure could probably prompt the Rossoneri to part ways with the 22-year-old. Between now and the end of the season, though, Conceicao will have to decide on one role for Musah rather than using him in multiple ones. And early subs, simply for the message they send, should be avoided.

USMNT Player Tracker: Musah pays price, Robinson shuts down Salah, and has Sargent outgrown Norwich?
Milan's USMNT duo endured contrasting fortunes in their game against Fiorentina this weekend while, elsewhere, Antonee Robinson's star continues to rise as Fulham's rampaging left-back. After those demoralising defeats in the international break, plenty of American players have returned to domestic action with their clubs with a point to prove. Josh Sargent was among the goals again in England's Championship, where Haji Wright is also excelling, and Malik Tillman's return from injury continues to go well. Welcome to this week's USMNT Player Tracker. In the glare of the limelight in Milan, 23 minutes is an embarrassingly early time for a player to be hauled off the pitch. So Yunus Musah's premature withdrawal from the fray in Saturday's 2-2 draw with Fiorentina has become a talking point — even if it cannot compare with the humiliation of Lincoln City's captain Grant Brown in 1998 who was hauled off two minutes into a game with Swansea City. Advertisement That won't offer much consolation for Musah, who might still be smarting after being hooked by Sergio Conceicao. First, an errant pass from Musah gifted Fiorentina their opener and he compounded that error with some unconvincing defending in the move that yielded the visitors' second. On came Luka Jovic. Musah understandably did not look happy and there appeared to be some warm words and encouragement from the Milan manager to his player. With Jovic eventually grabbing the equaliser, Conceicao can claim his decision was justified. It will provide food for thought for the USMNT midfielder, though. The 22-year-old has made 36 appearances across all competitions for his club this term, but his third Milan manager since last summer may be the most exacting yet. It is not the first time he has been switched out early since the Portuguese took over from Paulo Fonseca in December. Last month Musah was taken off after 37 minutes of a 2-1 home defeat by Lazio. Musah has youth on his side and enough potential to remain part of Conceicao's plans, but he will have to tighten up his overall game to avoid further painful lessons in the spotlight. At least Pulisic delivered a more upbeat performance. It was his finely threaded pass to Tammy Abraham which saw the Englishman halve Milan's deficit, moving the USMNT star into double figures for club assists (10 in all competitions so far). A point from the game, though, did little for the Rossoneri's chances of overhauling Fiorentina, Roma, Lazio, Juventus and Bologna to sneak into the top four. That appears a daunting task — Milan are eight points behind fourth-placed Bologna with seven Serie A games remaining (and Bologna have a game in hand). One USMNT player who has renewed hopes of playing in European competition next season is Robinson. And if Fulham are to make it, it will partly be thanks to the consistently high performance levels of their flying left-back. His club rose to eighth in the table after Sunday's 3-2 win over champions-elect Liverpool and, along the way, Robinson managed the unlikely task of keeping Mohamed Salah quiet. Remarkably, it wasn't the first time he had achieved that this season, either. Fulham are the only team, home and away, against whom Salah has failed to register at least one shot on target in the top flight this term. The only league matches this season Mo Salah HASN'T registered a shot on target… Fulham (H)Fulham (A)#FULLIV — Amazon Prime Video Sport (@primevideosport) April 6, 2025 After the game on Sunday, Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk credited Robinson's defensive shift for limiting Salah. 'Robinson was very tight on him,' he said. 'No one can do the same every time — sometimes you have to mix it up and try it the other way as well. That's part of the game, (to) find the right options and put players in their best positions. 'Unfortunately the full-back did well against Mo, unfortunately for us, and that's part of the game and you have to deal with it.' There will still be whispers that Liverpool, who need a new left-back, might turn to the former Wigan Athletic defender. But Robinson turns 28 in the summer, and that may move him out of the Anfield club's preferred age bracket. That will be music to Fulham fans' ears, but it will also mean at least one less headache for Mauricio Pochettino to resolve as, on the left of defence at least, he knows he has a trusted elite performer in his prime. It appears increasingly unlikely Norwich City will be in the Championship promotion play-off picture. Saturday's defeat by bottom club Plymouth Argyle has left them 11th, lagging eight points and five places behind sixth-placed Bristol City in the last play-off spot. It is not good for anyone at Carrow Road, but especially for USMNT striker Josh Sargent, who ideally wants to be playing top-flight football in a World Cup year. Sargent, 25, scored Norwich's only goal in their 2-1 loss and now has 14 to his name this season, despite lengthy periods out with injury. After a disappointing performance against Panama in the Concacaf Nations League semi-final defeat, he has scored in successive games back with his club. Inevitably it has prompted fresh discussion over where he will be playing his club football next term, with Norwich icon and TV pundit Chris Sutton now having his say. Advertisement 'Increasingly, it feels less like Sargent goes — but when, where, and for how much?,' he told The Pink 'Un. 'He has three years left on his contract, and Norwich will be in a strong position to receive a sizeable fee for his services. 'He's in his mid-20s, coming to the peak of his career and has really improved as a player. He has improved the team. You can't begrudge a player wanting to play at the highest possible level. 'He has now outgrown the club as a player, and everybody can see that. It's time for everyone involved — club, fans, and player — to shake hands and for him to leave amicably. 'Sargent has all the attributes to show that he can be a really accomplished Premier League striker or in any top league across Europe. Now is the time for him to strike.' While he must still do more to convince he is the long-term answer for Pochettino, it may transpire that being pushed at a higher level will spur Sargent on. Name: Haji Wright Club: Coventry City Position: Forward Appearances (all competitions): 23 Goals: 11 Wright couldn't prevent his team losing 2-1 at home against top-of-the-table Burnley on Saturday, but he did get his fourth goal in as many matches for Frank Lampard's men. Like Sargent, his goal return is impressive considering the injury-hit campaign he has endured. Wright could consider himself unfortunate to miss out on the last USMNT roster, and is responding in the perfect way as he regathers full fitness. No other player has a better goals-per-90 minutes ratio than the 27-year-old in the Championship this season. Name: Malik Tillman Club: PSV Position: Midfield Appearances: 28 Goals: 12 Tillman is yet another USMNT player who has suffered and recovered from a serious injury this season. But just like Sargent and Wright, he is making up for lost time. On his first Eredivisie start since recovering from the ankle injury that caused him to miss the best part of three months, he reminded everyone of his quality. Advertisement 'If you see Malik on the field, you know what you've been missing,' said PSV manager Peter Bosz after a 3-1 win against Groningen, in which Tillman scored an impressive opener from outside the box. 'I thought he played amazingly.' Name: Aidan Morris Club: Middlesbrough Position: Midfield Appearances: 31 Friday's 2-0 win at Blackburn Rovers has boosted Middlesbrough's play-off hopes — and Morris' dream of being in the Premier League next season. Michael Carrick's side are fifth, and Morris played a significant part of a positive evening for his team in Lancashire on Friday. Boro are now unbeaten in their last four and, against Blackburn, Morris put in an admirable midfield shift. He not only won the most duels in the match (14), but, according to FotMob, was also subject to plenty of attention by the home side becoming the game's most fouled player (five). Name: Weston McKennie Club: Juventus Position: Midfielder Appearances: 37 McKennie retains the faith of new Juventus manager Igor Tudor as he played the full 90 minutes in Sunday's draw at Roma. The point keeps the Turin club in fifth place but level on 56 points with Bologna, who are fourth. Roma's left wing-back Angelino certainly found it difficult to flourish down McKennie's flank (the American played as right wing-back). According to FotMob, Angelino had the fewest number of touches (49) of any outfield player to play 90 minutes. (All Eastern Time) See how Morris fares against compatriot Brenden Aaronson as Middlesbrough face Leeds United in a critical promotion clash on Tuesday (3pm Tuesday, Paramount+).

USMNT vs. Panama: Concacaf Nations League semifinal live coverage
USMNT vs. Panama: Concacaf Nations League semifinal live coverage Show Caption Hide Caption 15-year-old soccer star Cavan Sullivan has lofty goals with USMNT One of America's most promising young soccer stars Cavan Sullivan has sights set on the 2026 World Cup and beyond. Sports Pulse The U.S. men's national team faces one of its biggest tests before the 2026 World Cup on Thursday, as a do-or-die Concacaf Nations League semifinal against Panama will be one of the team's only full-strength competitive tests in the coming months. While this summer's Gold Cup will surely be the top test for head coach Mauricio Pochettino, a conflict with the FIFA Club World Cup may deprive the USMNT of several key players whose clubs will have no obligation to release them for national team duty. There is also something of a grudge match feel for this Nations League battle stemming back to last summer's Copa América. A nightmare 2-1 loss for the USMNT ended the Gregg Berhalter era, and a long-standing tendency for this matchup to get physical ended with Tim Weah receiving a red card after lashing out at Panama's Roderick Miller. Under new management, the USMNT will be hoping to keep its composure and get some revenge, which will set up a trip to the Nations League final on Sunday against either Mexico or Canada (those sides play later Thursday night). A loss, however, would add to the trepidation over a supposed golden generation's ability to handle high-pressure situations. Follow along with Pro Soccer Wire for live updates of this Concacaf Nations League semifinal between the USMNT and Panama: Chris Richards did well to step up and help Musah out of an 8th-minute jam, but turned his back to some serious Panamanian pressure. Cristian Martínez pounced, stripping the Crystal Palace center back and bursting into the box. The USMNT was not ready collectively, but Tyler Adams — as he tends to do — got on his horse to shut the danger down with a timely block. Pochettino's solution to Robinson's surprise absence is fielding Musah at right back. That means Scally has switched to the left side, while McKennie (who was an option to slot in for Robinson on the back line) is pushing aggressively forward from central midfield. Panama, meanwhile, has rolled out a 5-4-1 formation, but is maintaining a mid-block rather than parking the bus. We're underway at SoFi Stadium as the USMNT and Panama battle for a spot in the Concacaf Nations League final. This figures to be an abrasive game on the field, but with this massive NFL stadium maybe 20% full right now, we might not be looking at a cauldron in terms of atmosphere. The U.S. enters this match with significant absences in the squad. Folarin Balogun, Ricardo Pepi, and Malik Tillman are out with injuries, while Sergiño Dest has only just returned for PSV after a torn ACL suffered in 2024. Compounding the issue, the USMNT announced on Tuesday that Antonee Robinson, Johnny Cardoso and Auston Trusty all withdrew from the roster with health issues. The USMNT has a 18W-7D-3L record all-time against Panama, but has won just six of the last 13 meetings. That includes a penalty shootout loss in the 2023 Gold Cup semifinal and a group-stage defeat at the 2024 Copa América. USMNT manager Mauricio Pochettino appears to have approached the absence of Antonee Robinson by following the example of Juventus and deploying midfielder Weston McKennie at left back. That said, Pochettino could just as easily deploy Yunus Musah at right back, with Joe Scally moving over from his more preferred right back spot. That has opened the door for Lyon's Tanner Tessmann to join Tyler Adams and Musah or McKennie in the midfield, while Josh Sargent — effectively the last man standing in an injury-hit pool of strikers — will lead the line. Captain Tim Ream will make some history as the oldest player to start a competitive match for the USMNT in nearly 31 years. For Panama, head coach Thomas Christiansen will field an 11 build around some veteran know-how and Pumas UNAM midfielder Adalberto "Coco" Carrasquilla.
