<p>Questions are being asked of everybody else in the squad that Massimiliano Allegri has inherited following his return to San Siro for a second spell as coach, with Pulisic’s international team-mate <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/results-oriented-business-what-will-massimiliano-allegri-s-old-school-pragmatic-approach-at-milan-mean-for-usmnt-stars-christian-pulisic-and-yunus-musah/blt2fc6a47a88284e4e" target="_blank">Yunus Musah apparently a “candidate to leave”</a> in the current transfer window.</p>
