Weston McKennie is playing his way into the plans of Massimiliano Allegri and we could see more of him now.
The American scored Juventus’ only goal in their 2-1 loss at home to Sassuolo, and Tuttomercatoweb speculates he is now in the good books of his manager.
The report says the manager likes him and could confirm him as an untouchable in the January transfer window.
Juve FC say
This is a good development and shows that McKennie is putting in the efforts needed to keep him in the team under Allegri.
He had thrived under Andrea Pirlo last season, but Allegri’s approach to the game is different.
Some players have quickly adapted their game to suit the returning manager, but not everyone has achieved that.
McKennie is now nearing the group that clearly understands what the gaffer demands from them.
The American is still very young and keeping him at the club would guarantee years of quality service.
If he gets used to Allegri’s tactics now, then we can expect him to play an important role in what the Livorno-born gaffer will achieve in his second spell at the Allianz Stadium.
McKennie has played 7 league games and 3 more in the Champions League for Juventus this season.
God I hope not! He has been average at best, awful most of the time. Despite the goal, he has made so many mistakes yesterday. The best thing would be to sell him in January
@Dra He has improved in his last 2 games be patient he’s adapting to different things from a different coach hes young and could be the future it’s better to develop the youth than buying ageing players on the market
