Coach Gregg Berhalter and the U.S. national team earned their first big win of a big year on Monday morning as 18-year-old Valencia midfielder Yunus Musah, who’s eligible to represent four countries internationally, chose to commit to the USA.
Born in New York City and raised in Italy and England, Musah is expected to be named to the team that’ll face Northern Ireland and Jamaica in friendlies this month.
“I think it was pretty clear for me to decide to play for the United States,” said Musah, who was also eligible to represent Ghana.
