This marks Müller’s first time being selected to the MLS All-Star roster, having joined the ‘Caps in August 2025.
The 2014 FIFA World Cup winner has continued where he left off in 2025, registering eight MLS goal contributions (4G, 4A) in nine starts and 12 appearances. In total, since arriving last summer, Müller has 18 goal contributions (11G, 7A), in 19 MLS regular season appearances.
The German made his greatest statement of this season right before the break, assisting three of the 'Caps four goals in a dominant 4-2 road win at San Diego FC. That performance earned him his second selection to the MLS Team of the Matchday after also getting selected for Matchday 2.
Amongst midfielders in MLS so far this season, Müller is tied for fourth with Berhalter for chances created per 90 (2.90), tied for sixth in big chances created (7), and 10th for total chances created (27).
