Sacha Kljestan was the top American player in Major League Soccer in 2016, according to Greg Seltzer at MLSSoccer.com.
Seltzer ranked the top 10 domestic players in the league and Dax McCarty ranked No. 9 on the list for his 2016 season.
On McCarty, Seltzer wrote that the "steady skipper cleaned up scores of midfield messes before sending his team's potent attack running in the right direction."
McCarty netted three goals and added five assists over 27 games for New York last season.
While for Kljestan, the author said: "The MVP finalist was easily the most consistent American on the attacking side of the ball this season; he earned six Team of the Week mentions, more than any other midfielder."
Kljestan tallied 20 assists, with six goals, in his 32 games for the Red Bulls.
