Man Utd hero Evra: McCarthy deserves credit for Rashford form

Manchester United Champions League winner Patrice Evra says strikers coach Benni McCarthy has had a big role in Marcus Rashford's revival this season.

Rashford, who scored three times for England at the World Cup in Qatar, netted his 14th and 15th goals of the season on Tuesday night, helping United defeat Charlton Athletic 3-0 in their Carabao Cup quarter-final at Old Trafford.

"We need to give credit to Benni McCarthy, he's responsible for all the forward players and you can see he is doing a good job," Evra told Betfair. "Maybe he is the one saying to Marcus that he needs to score more goals and be a killer.

"So, I think what United are doing with Marcus is good work because I see someone happy. That is the key. It's the biggest difference I see in Marcus, now he is smiling.

"Before, when he scored a goal you could see he was angry and upset with something, now he is happy. A happy Marcus Rashford is dangerous. He's electric."
