Man United boss hails Benni McCarthy impact: 'He is doing a great job'

Manchester United manager Erik Ten Hag has reserved special praise for coach Benni McCarthy as his charges have shown a drastic improvement in front of goal following his arrival at the club.

The 45-year-old was appointed as part of the Dutchman's coaching staff in July last year following the coaching reshuffle within the club after a disastrous season under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and then German Ralph Rangnick. United had finished well below expectations as they missed out on qualifying for the Champions League.

The former Bafana international has received plenty of praise from coaches and players alike within the club. The public support from Ten Hag also shows the great job McCarthy has done in a short space of time.

"On our coaching staff, we had a lot of defenders, midfielder players so I wanted to find a good balance and he's (McCarthy) offensive," Ten Hag said in a recent Q&A posted on Manchester United's Twitter account.

"[He's] a former striker, that's a really specific job, task in a team and I never played there (striker), so I'm lucky to have someone in my staff who did.

"Football is about scoring and you have a goalkeeping specialist, but you also have offensive players... for a striker, in particular, we have a specific scoring trainer. 

"He has to add that, in details, working and for the rest of us, he has a good relationship to all the players in our squad. He also has to work on the togetherness and he is doing a great job in that," Ten Hag said.
