Marcus Rashford on Fire: Manchester United's Stretford Paddock Praises Benni McCarthy

• Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford continues his red-hot form in front of the goals
• The England striker struck again as the Red Devils swept past rivals Leeds United on Sunday
• One man who has been credited in Rashford's resurgence is forwards coach Benni McCarthy

With every passing day, Manchester United striker, Marcus Rashford's revival is being directly linked to the work of forwards coach, Benni McCarthy.

The England striker was on the scoresheet once again as United - the pride of Lancashire - dealt with Yorkshire arch-rivals Leeds United 2-0 in a Premier League encounter on Sunday.

Sports Brief has reported regularly on how the Bafana Bafana legend has been a factor in Rashford's resurgence this season, to nearly the point of ad nauseum.

However, the facts don't lie, and McCarthy's reputation as a coach in world football continues to rise on the back of the work he has done with Rashford and the forwards at the club.

Stretford Paddock, the Red Devils' most famous YouTube fanzine, joined in on giving the South African his flowers.

The popular Stephen Howson and Jay Motty were gleefully reviewing their team's victory over a hated rival when they touched on McCarthy's work.

Howson said:

"I want to watch Benni McCarthy's sessions with him."

Motty responded:

"I think that is some elite coaching right there. Give Marcus his credit because he is the one scoring the goals, but it's not a coincidence, McCarthy has come in and Marcus is the best striker ever."
