United States midfielder, Yunus Musah, has shared a beautiful video inspired by his heritage following his move to Italian giants AC Milan in the summer transfer window.

Musah was born to Ghanaian parents in New York, and was eligible to play for the Black Stars and England but decided to represent the country of his birth.

The Arsenal Academy product sealed a move from Valencia to AC Milan following an outstanding campaign with the La Liga outfit.

In a video announcing his new destination, Musah shared the journey of his parents from Ghana to him becoming a player of the Rossonerri.

The beautiful piece of art sees Musah in a colourful Kente - a woven cloth - with the Ghanaian flag on display, before exposing his other cultural backgrounds.

The 20-year-old is one of the most talented midfielders in the world and a regular member of the US Men's National Soccer Team. He has won two CONCACAF Nations Leagues with the United States, as reported by Transfermarkt.

The former England youth international is yet to make his debut for AC Milan, despite featuring in pre-season games.

“I’m very happy, today my mouth is hurting from all the smiling. I don’t know what to say, I want to thank everyone. I will need to take time to understand what has happened. I’m just so happy," he told the club's media.

AC Milan start with win

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Christian Pulisic netted one goal and helped set up another in AC Milan's hard-fought 2-0 win at Bologna on Monday, in which the USA star made a big impression.

The 24-year-old is looking to give his club career a jump start at Milan after being sold by Chelsea and he was key to Stefano Pioli's side claiming the points in their opening match of the season.

Pulisic played the defence-splitting pass which led to Olivier Giroud's 11th-minute opener and then doubled Milan's lead 10 minutes later with a superb strike from the edge of the penalty area.
