<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/player/weston-mckennie/288nn7pbq5ewriiyb9o7da86h" target="_blank">McKennie's</a> Juventus career appeared to be over when he joined Leeds United on loan in January. Plenty of clubs were linked with the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/team/usa/9vh2u1p4ppm597tjfahst2m3n" target="_blank">USMNT</a> midfielder over the summer, but he ended up staying in Turin and has been a key player for <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/team/juventus/bqbbqm98ud8obe45ds9ohgyrd" target="_blank">Juventus</a> this season. Now, Allegri has revealed how he inspired McKennie's turnaround.

WHAT HAPPENED?

After <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/juventus-weston-mckennie-tim-weah-roma-serie-a/blt6762214b7737ed9a" target="_blank">Juventus beat Roma 1-0</a> on Saturday evening, Allegri said: "How did I transform McKennie? I didn't transform him... I just told him during the summer that he had a great chance of staying at Juventus as long as he started running on July 15 and stopped on May 26."

WHAT ALLEGRI SAID

After being used sparingly during his first three seasons at Juventus, McKennie is now one of the first names on Allegri's team sheet. The 25-year-old has appeared in all 18 of his side's Serie A games this term, and was named Juventus' player of the season so far by <a href="https://m.tuttosport.com/amp/news/calcio/serie-a/juventus/2023/12/25-119462261/juve_i_migliori_per_media_voto_il_1_posto_un_capolavoro_di_allegri/3" target="_blank">TuttoSport</a>.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

McKennie's performances have played no small part in Juventus launching a surprise title challenge. He'll look to carry his impressive form into 2024, starting with a Coppa Italia clash with Salernitana on January 4.
