Marcus Rashford is firing on all cylinders for Manchester United at the moment, with forwards coach McCarthy being praised for the part he has played in the England striker's sudden resurgence, going into the 2022 FIFA World Cup and beyond.

According to IOL, the Manchester United great said of the South African legend:
