After an impressive showing at the World Cup, midfielder Yunus Musah was named the 2022 U.S. Soccer Young Male Player of the Year.
The Valencia standout, who turned 20 years old while in Qatar, set a mark for the most minutes logged by a teenager in USMNT history. Musah started all four of the U.S.’s World Cup matches, playing all but 15 minutes as part of the second-youngest team at the tournament.
Before making his U.S. debut in 2020, the New York-born midfielder was eligible to play for four countries after being raised in Italy and England by Ghanaian parents. Now, with 23 appearances for the United States under his belt, he’s part of an incredibly promising midfield (deemed MMA) alongside USMNT captain Tyler Adams and Juventus star Weston McKennie.
