Benni McCarthy appointed striker's coach

Sports Brief previously reported on former South African international, McCarthy being been appointed coach for Man United's first-team strikers.

The 44-year-old had been out of work in club management since being fired by Amazulu following an indifferent DStv Premiership campaign.

He was then roped in by new manager, Erik ten Hag to work with the forwards at Carrington amid a revival to the Red Devils' glory days.
