Bafana Great Benni McCarthy Singled Out For Praise at Man United

• Manchester United romped to a fairly comfortable 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest on Tuesday night
• Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and Fred were all on the scoresheet at a sleety Old Trafford
• The Red Devils' striker coach Benni McCarthy came in for praise in recognition of his impact on the Englishman and French counterpart upfront

Benni McCarthy knows what he is doing.

The South African great and Bafana Bafana legend has been praised for the impact that he has had in his role as forwards coach at Manchester United. This came following the Red Devils' impressive 3-0 victory over a pesky Nottingham Forest at Old Trafford on Tuesday.

The hosts' goals came via the educated right feet of Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial, before Fred's increasingly deft left one sealed the deal on a soggy night at the Theatre of Dreams. Amid the feel-good factor in the red half of Manchester, McCarthy was the focal point of the excellent work he has done in giving the Englishman and his French counterpart a second career wind. Social media collectively beamed in its praise of the UEFA Champions League winner and Bafana all-time top scorer.
