Benni Mccarthy Joins Manchester United As a Coach -Benni McCarthy was brought on board by Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag as a first-team coach, expanding the managerial staff that the Dutchman already had in place.

The former South African striker was a lifelong supporter of the Liverpool football club and scored twice against us when playing for Porto in the knockout stages of the Champions League in 2003–2004.

Once, he was quoted as saying, “I support Man United and have always wanted to play for them.” “Players like Mark Hughes, Andy Cole, and Ryan Giggs were some of my favorites,” she said.

During his long and successful career, the 44-year-old has played for several teams, including Ajax, Blackburn Rovers, and West Ham United, among others.

After leading the South African team to a record second place finish in the league, McCarthy resigned from his role as head coach of AmaZulu in the month of March. He was honored with the title of Coach of the Season in the South African Premier League for the 2020/21 season.

The former forward will focus primarily on attacking plays and positioning throughout his time as a coach.

The coaching staff has been assembled in preparation for the 2022–2023 season, which will begin on Sunday, August 7, 2022, when Manchester United will host Brighton & Hove Albion at Old Trafford in the opening game of the Premier League.

Benni will serve as a coach in addition to Eric Ramsay and Darren Fletcher, and Ten Hag will collaborate closely with Mitchell van der Gaag and Steve McClaren, who will serve as assistants. Fletcher, who played as a midfielder in the past, now serves as the club’s technical director and is responsible for monitoring the progression of players from the Academy to the first team as well as those who are on loan.

The goalkeepers are coached by Richard Hartis and Craig Mawson respectively.

Benni has just joined the club, and everyone here would like to offer him our sincerest congratulations and best wishes.
