Manchester United forwards coach Benni McCarthy has done his bit in the resurgence of Marcus Rashford.

The latter is easily the most in-form attacking player on earth at the moment. Broadcaster SuperSport, via Julia Stuart, got the opportunity to chat with Rashford about the Bafana Bafana legend's impact at Old Trafford.

Rashford said:

"I think he has done a good job. It can be tough getting a full group of new coaches. Everyone's settled quickly. It's good that the forwards can get a coach that focuses on us a group. Benni will tell you himself his aspirations are much bigger than what we've done so far!
