Man Utd striker Hojlund reveals McCarthy influence

Manchester United forward Rasmus Hojlund has credited Benni McCarthy for his new found form.

The Denmark attacker struggled in the Premier League during the first half of this season.

However, he has found his shooting boots since the January break in action, and credits his assistant coach for that feat.

"You could say that we have found each other better," he told Danish outlet BT.

"We have had some forwards meetings with Benni McCarthy, where we talked about things.

"It wasn't just me and two others, it was everyone from the front line who attended the meeting. We talked about playing each other [in] well and helping each other, because that's the way we will get the best results.

"We saw some video clips, and then there was reference to the fact that, here and there, some things should be done better. We could see that and then we have carried it out on the field, in training and matches.

"I try to train well and prepare every single day. I train on both my strengths and weakness. I have got better and better. I have had a good month [or so] but it has been the result of good work over a long period. It clicks a little better than at the start of the Premier League season."
