Manchester United attacker Marcus Rashford has said that striker coach Benni McCarthy is on top of what the club needs and that the South African mentor pushes the Red Devils’ attackers.

Rashford, who is currently one of the most in-form players in Europe at the moment, has been benefiting from McCarthy’s coaching behind the scenes.

The Englishman currently has 25 goals in 42 appearances this season and has been in fine form since the conclusion of the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

Speaking on Benni’s influence, Rashford mentioned that the United striker coach has big aspirations and that he is constantly looking to improve the attacking department.

“I think he has done a good job,” Rashford told SuperSport, as per GOAL.com.

“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.

“Like I said before, with all the forward lads, 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.
