USMNT
mUSAh!!!!!!
How Lleget received more playing time than Yunus Musah I’ll never understand
Huge for the US
At least he's honest and doesn't pretend that this choice was anything other than career oriented.
It is curious to see American fans excited about a non-American representing America though.
Imagine starting lleget over him
i love musah, but im just scared that we’ll lose him if berhalter doesn’t play him
🇺🇲💪💯⚽️
Best wishes to this fine young man!
mUSAh🇺🇲🇺🇲
He still can switch back to England , Berhalter has not capped him. Only played friendlies ..

He shouldve just joined another cpuntry instead of joining a choker nation that choses leglet over u in starting lineup
I went to school with him
Totally.
Let’s pray he stays on usmnt
This dude must be fun to watch
Not American
How most of these players didn't grow up in America😬
So glad he chose to play for the USA 🇺🇸!!! He was fantastic in the WCQ vs Jamaica!
He made the right decision! There is so much young talent in the USMNT right now, and he can be part of something special.
Nice grounded kid
USMT really lucky MUSAH chose to play for the country he was born in he's going to be playing for a top 10 premier league club very soon.
