Juventus and United States men’s national team midfielder Weston McKennie is experiencing some of the best form of his career and is exuding confidence.
Tuttosport, a Turin-based sports news outlet, rated McKennie as the best player for Juventus so far this season. The 25-year-old Texan is on a roll.
McKennie wowed the Juventus fans at Allianz Stadium prior to kick off when he showed off some incredible skill to control the ball.

The American midfielder has openly expressed his love for the “Harry Potter” franchise and it’s clear that McKennie can produce some magic of his own.
McKennie’s turn-around this season is truly remarkable. Prior to the season he looked destined for a transfer after the loan spell with Leeds United crashed and burned.
The American was originally not part of Juve manager Massimiliano Allegri’s plans but put the hard work in and has become irreplaceable.
Season-long suspensions to Paul Pogba and Nicoló Fagioli allowed McKennie to get his foot in the door of Juventus’ house of midfielders and now he’s arguably the best on the team.
McKennie has gone the full 90 minutes in Juventus’ previous 12 games, recording 10 wins in the process with two draws.
The USMNT star also has two assists this season. We think it's safe to say he's having lots of fun.
