Manchester United striker coach Benni McCarthy has made a fascinating admission on the club’s red-hot forward Marcus Rashford.
McCarthy is credited for Rashford’s stellar improvement as the England international has been in fine form, flourishing since the Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup.

McCarthy has since made an admission on the lethal goal poacher, citing that he has got him “in the right place.”
The ex-AmaZulu mentor was responding to a fan who appreciated the good job that he is doing with Rashford in a public appearance via a short video shared by Man United Zone.
