Erik Ten Haag Praises the Impact of Benni McCarthy at Manchester United! The former Bafana Bafana international has gained the favour of his peers.

Benni McCarthy was announced at the strikers’ coach at Manchester United at the beginning of the current season. Head coach Erik Ten Haag has been impressed with the influence he has on the team.

The Premier League giants are currently enjoying a healthy streak of wins. Striker Marcus Rashford has become the first Manchester United player to score in seven consecutive matches since Cristiano Ronaldo.

Many have attributed his form to Benni McCarthy. While doing a Q&A with club supporters, Erik Ten Haag spoke on the impact of McCarthy.

“In our coaching staff, we had a lot of defenders and midfield players,” The Dutchman spoke, as per the club website.

“I wanted also to find a good balance. He is offensive [minded] as he is a former striker and that is also a really specific job task in the team.

“I never played there, so I’m lucky to have someone in my staff who played there. Football is about scoring, and you have a goalkeeping specialist, but you also have offensive specialists and, 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 relationship to all the players in our squad. He also has to work on the togetherness, and he is doing a great job on that.”

Frenchman Anthony Martial also spoke on the impact of Benni.

“Yes, he’s a coach I speak with a lot.

“Both on and off the training ground. On every occasion, he gives me a lot of good advice and that can only be a good thing for all the players involved.”

The Red Devils currently sit in third place in the Premier League. Erik Ten Haag Praises the Impact of Benni McCarthy at Manchester United!
