Manchester United news as Benni McCarthy claim speaks volumes for Marcus Rashford and Erik ten Hag following Old Trafford exit
Benni McCarthy's 2006/07 Premier League season at Blackburn, his first in England, still tallies as being numerically better than the peak of Marcus Rashford 's powers. For a player with over 200 career goals in more than 500 appearances, it may just explain a lot.

In February alone he surpassed the disappointing output from 2021/22, and was at 14 goals before an injury slowed things down in the final months of the season. Often used as a winger still, rather than a striker, he was a key part in Ten Hag's third-place finish.
McCarthy is back in the news during the international break after suggesting that Rashford didn't have enough pushback from those at United whilst he was involved at the club. "Rashford is special - he's a special human being," McCarthy told South African outlet SuperSport. "He's pure-hearted and he's Man United through and through.
That may have been just what Rashford needed. The fact that their relationship continues is a sign of that. But at the same time, the absence of McCarthy, and a figure at United who will cut through to Rashford in a way that very few have so publicly, is possibly being felt.
