He said to iDiski Times:

“I was looking at Benni McCarthy. A former Orlando Pirates player. And again, I was looking forward to working with him. And since now he went to Manchester United, I think it’s still possible that I could still work with him.”

McCarthy honours AKA

As the continent comes to grips with the slaying of one of its finest ever hip-hop artists - AKA - another great export to the world paid tribute to him.

Manchester United first-team coach, McCarthy expressed his sadness after the murder of the musician, whose real name is Kiernan Forbes.

AKA was shot dead in Durban, with his friend Tebello 'Tibz' Motsoane also killed. McCarthy and Forbes had recently become friends, bonding over football.

Stretford Paddock praises Benni McCarthy

With every passing day, Manchester United striker, Marcus Rashford's revival is being directly linked to the work of forwards coach, Benni McCarthy.

The England striker was on the scoresheet once again as the pride of Lancashire dealt with Yorkshire arch-rivals Leeds United 2-0 in a Premier League game last Sunday.

Sports Brief has reported regularly on how the Bafana Bafana legend has been a factor in Rashford's resurgence this season, to nearly the point of ad nauseum.

The Red Devils' most famous YouTube fanzine, Stretford Paddock gave McCarthy praise, with Stephen Howson and Jay Motty giving him a glowing review.
