Pulisic named AC Milan player of the month for August

The USMNT star is having a major impact with his new club

Christian Pulisic has been named AC Milan’s player of the month for August.

The U.S. national team star has hit the ground running at San Siro following an offseason move from Chelsea.

Pulisic scored on his Milan debut against Bologna, netting a sensational goal from distance after a one-two with Olivier Giroud. He followed that up with another goal on his second Milan appearance, scoring on his home debut against Torino.

Pulisic nearly scored again in a win against Roma before the international break, with an outstanding save from Rui Patrício denying the USMNT winger his third goal in a row.

In addition to his individual success, Pulisic has also helped Milan win all three of its opening Serie A games, with the Rossoneri sitting in second place on goal difference behind city rivals Inter.

Following the International break, Pulisic is set to play in his first Milan derby as Milan and Inter meet on September 16 in a top-of-the-table clash.
