Julian Green is regarded as one of the biggest prospects for the US national team since the LA Galaxy star Landan Donovan came to prominence almost a decade ago. The 19-year-old recently signed for the Bayern Munich first-team after having represented them in the reserves. He started out his career at SG Hausham before his excellent performances and talent led to him being taken to the Bayern Munich youth academy in 2010. He spent three years developing skills before making his debut in 2013. Even though he is up to feature for the first time, it is highly expected that the much anticipated debut will come this season.

This is after Green featured in the 2-1 defeat at the hands of MLS All-Stars in a friendly for Bayern Munich. This was one of the final pre-season friendlies, as they gear up for the new season. Green featured as a substitute late in the encounter after replacing captain Philipp Lahm. He came on in the 82nd minute to a huge reception from the packed stadium. After the match, Green said that it was disappointing to lose the encounter, but he is delighted to have received such a warm reception from the US national team supporters. They have clearly recognised Green’s talent.

Green made his mark at the World Cup 2014 by becoming the youngest US player to score.

“The fans here are awesome. All the American fans are awesome. It was a very nice to play in front of them. [I’m] very happy to have this chance. We saw each other two months ago so it was nice to see them again. It was a nice feeling to be out there with these guys and stand there,” said the 19-year-old about his debut and the chance to play against his international teammates.
