The Glamour Boys' chances of nabbing the South African coach could be up as a new twist developed concerning his future with his employers, the Red Devils.

According to a report by the South African, McCarthy's future at Old Trafford is said to be settled after the Premier League giants decided to continue with ten Hag as their manager for next season.

The former Ajax coach has reportedly also asked the Manchester United board to offer the South African a new contract, as he would love to continue working with the Bafana Bafana legend.

The Dutch coach believes offering the former West Ham United striker a new deal will be a reward for his efforts over the past two seasons, during which they have worked together at Old Trafford.

This twist will come as bad news for certain Amakhosi fans, who wanted the South African legend to lead their team from the dugout next season.
