Erik ten Hag has revealed why Benni McCarthy has been recruited for Manchester United's coaching staff.

The former South Africa striker was in attendance for Sunday's draw with Rayo Vallecano.

And ten Hag has said McCarthy, who won the Champions League with Porto, will focus on helping his team with positioning and attacking.

"There was still one place in our coaching staff that I wanted to fill," ten Hag told MUTV. "Someone with a different voice and Benni is that one.

"He has experience as a manager. He was a coach in the professional level and he was a former striker, a really successful striker as well.

"He will focus on the positioning and attacking.

"I'm not saying only the strikers, but also the integration from the full-backs and midfielders. Our way of play has to be dynamic."
