"I just love to be on the pitch, no matter the position," said Musiala in an interview posted on FC Bayern's official website.
"Since I was young, I've played mostly in attack, either as a 'No10' or on the wing where I feel most comfortable. However, I enjoy every position. I just take it all in: it's good for my development."
Since making his breakthrough for Bayern, Musiala has played everywhere in midfield. Most recently, the 19-year-old has been utilized as a No. 6 – not just for Bayern, but also for Germany.
"[Musiala] can play in the No. 6 role very well," Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann said ahead of Wednesday's Champions League quarterfinal first leg clash with Villarreal, according to UEFA.com.
"He's unbelievably aggressive, wins lots of balls. I thought he did well against Depay and the Netherlands recently. He knows how to use his body. But when I first told him he was playing in that position, three or four weeks before Christmas, he thought it was a joke," added Nagelsmann.
