MN: ‘Splendid in the Bernabeu test’ – Musah the ‘new Kessie’ for Milan | OneFootball

Since arriving last summer, Yunus Musah has struggled to find a regular position within the AC Milan team. Nevertheless, he may have an opportunity to cement himself now.

Musah is certainly a very intriguing player for several reasons. Not only does the American have capabilities as a wide player, but he also has the ability to do a role in the midfield, and this is potentially where his future lies.

As Milan News writes, when Real Madrid attacked, the 21-year-old was fantastic, becoming a fifth defender in the Rossoneri’s system to aid against Vinicius Junior. Whilst his role was professional, it wasn’t the biggest area of focus.

Instead, it was his work in the midfield. The report states that the American may be the final piece in the puzzle, as he brought balance, not only to the midfield trio but to the team. Performances like that are impressive, more so when against opposition like Madrid.

From that, it is questioned whether the youngster can be the ‘next Kessie’ for the Rossoneri, and whilst one performance will not give assurances of that, continued efforts like Tuesday’s will. After all, being ‘splendid in the Bernabeu test’ is as good as it gets, and if he continues, perhaps Milan will find another fundamental piece in the chessboard.
