Watch: Pulisic and Musah combine for first goal of the USA Pochettino era | OneFootball

AC Milan have an increasingly American influence on several fronts, and this involves players as well. In Mauricio Pochettino’s first game in charge of the USA Men’s National Team, two Rossoneri men were the pivotal to the first goal.

There has been a lot of talk about the links between Milan and America in recent years, and with Gerry Cardinale’s openness to bring a more ‘American feel’ to the Diavolo, it does not come as a surprise.

The club tops charts in America, and the popularity of the club is rising across the continent, and whilst marketing helps, having a strong American core is helping boost the Rossoneri’s profile. At present, the most popular player in the States would probably be Christian Pulisic – who has been phenomenal since joining Milan – and he showed his brilliance against Panama.

After a nice one-two, the winger then found his Diavolo teammate in the box, and Yunus Musah tapped home to give Pochettino’s side the lead. A goal back on home soil, provided by the Milan duo.
