As the United States build toward a home World Cup in 2026, McKennie&#8217;s energy and end product make him one of the first names on the team sheet.<\/p>\n\n<h2>From Schalke to Juventus<\/h2>\n<p>McKennie made the bold move to Germany as a teenager, breaking through at Schalke 04 and establishing himself in the Bundesliga. That earned him a switch to Juventus, one of the biggest clubs in Europe, where he has become a mainstay. A loan spell at Leeds United gave him a taste of the Premier League before he returned to Turin. The table below covers the seasons tracked in our database.<\/p>\n<table><thead><tr><th>Club<\/th><th>Apps<\/th><th>Goals<\/th><th>Assists<\/th><th>Chances created<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Schalke 04<\/strong><\/td><td>87<\/td><td>5<\/td><td>5<\/td><td>52<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Juventus<\/strong><\/td><td>224<\/td><td>26<\/td><td>20<\/td><td>218<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Leeds United (loan)<\/strong><\/td><td>20<\/td><td>0<\/td><td>2<\/td><td>24<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\n\n<h2>What the numbers say<\/h2>\n<p>For a midfielder, McKennie&#8217;s numbers in front of goal stand out. He has scored 26 goals and added 20 assists across his Juventus career, a return many forwards would take. Eleven of those goals came with his head, the product of perfectly timed runs into the box that defenders consistently fail to track.<\/p>\n<p>He is more than a goal threat, though. McKennie completed his passes at 82% for Juventus, created 218 chances and beat his man with 114 successful dribbles, so he can build play as well as finish it. That blend of running, passing and scoring is exactly why he is so hard to replace.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Weston McKennie and the USMNT<\/h2>\n<p>For the United States, McKennie provides the dynamism that ties the midfield together. He gives head coach <a href=\"\/us\/news\/mauricio-pochettino\/\">Mauricio Pochettino<\/a> a runner who can press, carry and crash the box, working alongside ball-winner <a href=\"\/us\/news\/tyler-adams\/\">Tyler Adams<\/a> in the engine room. Get that midfield balance right and the U.S. have a platform to attack from.
