Benni McCarthy: Bafana Bafana Legend Faces Manchester United Exit Amid Links With Kaizer Chiefs

• Benni McCarthy's Manchester United future is in serious doubt as new owners continue to reshape the club
• The Bafana Bafana legend is linked with a return to the Premier Soccer League amid Kaizer Chiefs' interest
• The South African tactician has been with the Red Devils since the appointment of Erik ten Hag last season

Banfana Banfana legend Benni McCarthy is said to be facing uncertainty about his future with Manchester United amid links with Premier Soccer League side Kaizer Chiefs.

The former FC Porto star joined the Red Devils in 2022 when Erik ten Hag took over the permanent managerial role at Old Trafford.

The South African legend was appointed first-team coach and was in charge of training the club's forwards.

The move paid off, with Marcus Rashford having one of his best campaigns as a professional footballer last season, scoring 30 goals in all competitions.

According to a report by ESPN, McCarthy's status as the club's manager for forwards is in serious doubt as the new owners, Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS, are making changes in the club's setup.

The new owners have already confirmed some new appointments starting next season, but they have yet to approach the South African tactician about his job at the club.

The 46-year-old has been linked with the vacant permanent coaching role at Amakhosi, where their caretaker manager, Cavin Johnson, has failed to meet expectations.

Kaizer Chiefs also have coaches like Jose Peseiro, Pitso Mosimane, and others lined up on their target list.

The owners have yet to confirm if Ten Hag will continue as United's boss next season, but McCarthy's departure could prove costly for the team as the Dutch tactician is happy with the former AmaZulu coach's job.
