Man Utd striker Rashford talks up McCarthy influence: Benni great with me

Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford has detailed his work with coach Benni McCarthy.

The former Porto striker has been a revelation as part of manager Erik ten Hag's coaching staff this term.

McCarthy, a United fan, has been working with the club's attackers and Rashford in particular.

"I think he has done a good job," Rashford told SuperSport. "It's always good for us to have a particular coach that concentrates on us as a forwards group. We have worked more as a team going forward which has led us to creating more chances and scoring more goals.

"So, it's still early days and Benni will tell you himself his aspirations are much bigger than what we've done so far. He keeps on pushing us, keeps to try and get us to improve."

He added: "Benni has been great with me. Like I said before, with all the forward lads and you have to remember that Benni is part of a full coaching system so everyone plays their roles… so Benni is actually on top of what we need.

"Yes, his relationship with me is very good. We speak a lot, we are always analyzing games and showing me ways to improve. You know, small things that can help me make more chances, more goals, maybe create space for other players as well. We are doing a lot of work."
