A great honor for Hany Mukhtar: The former German U21 international was called up to the all-star team in the North American professional league MLS, which meets Premier League club FC Arsenal in Washington on July 19.
Mukhtar (Nashville SC) is one of 12 professionals in the 26-man squad voted for by players, media and fans.
Another twelve players were chosen by All-Star coach Wayne Rooney (DC United), two by league boss Don Garber. Midfielder Mukhtar (28) leads the MLS scorer list with 13 goals.
Last season, the former Hertha player was top scorer and the most valuable player in the league.
