Manchester United Boss Erik Ten Hag Backs Benni McCarthy Amid Horrid Start to the Season

• Despite Manchester United's terrible start to the season, manager Erik Ten Hag still has Benni McCarthy's back
• According to reports, the Dutchman is happy with his South African first-team coach's involvement thus far
• The Red Devils are enduring their worst start in history as pressure continues to pile up at Old Trafford

Manchester United first-team coach Benni McCarthy is enjoying the backing of manager Erik Ten Hag.

The club is enduring its worst start to a league season in over 100 years, having fallen 2-1 to Brighton and absolutely embarrassing itself in a 4-0 loss to Brentford last Saturday. These results have seen the Red Devils humiliatingly occupy last place on the log table.

Despite this crisis, Ten Hag said:

“Benni is relaxed and he’s straight into the team and it’s good to have him here. He has a different voice and this can be really helpful to get the right results."

"[I want to] help these young players, push them, change their mindset and really try to make the difference to United this season. Hopefully this season we're going to see a completely revived United, a hungry bunch of players and a team that's going to be able to challenge to get into the Champions League and change the dynamics of the Man Cities and Liverpools.”

The article also referenced the respected Pitso Mosimane confidently saying that McCarthy's elevation to the heights of Manchester United would open doors for African coaches in Europe.
