According to IOL, Ten Hag said of McCarthy:

“He has a really good relationship with all the players in our squad. He also has to work on togetherness and he is doing a good job in that. In our coaching staff we had a lot of defenders and midfield players so I wanted to find a good balance and he's (McCarthy) offensive and a good striker so that's a really big job, task in a team."

“I never played there (as a striker) but luckily I have someone who did in my staff. Football is about scoring; we have a specialist for goalkeeping so we also need a specialist for scoring, so he has to add that.”
