Milan added three points to their tally with a convincing display against Empoli on Saturday evening. As highlighted by Daniele Longo, they have the ‘Yunus Musah solution’ to thank for this, adding much-needed balance.

It has been a season filled with ups and downs so far for Milan. However, in the last few weeks, a bit of balance has seemingly been found with the inclusion of Musah from start. Playing to the right, the American certainly adds more in the defensive phase than Samuel Chukwueze.
