BENNI MCCARTHY SPOTTED DURING MAN UNITED MATCH

After a dismal performance this season, Manchester United is seemingly making a comeback, and it’s all thanks to Benni McCarthy, claim fans.

The 44-year-old star joined the team as coach in July and specialises in coaching attacking plays and positioning.

He’s previously coached the likes of local teams like Cape Town City and AmaZulu.

And it seems Benni McCarthy is helping the boys of Man U regain their winning streak. Last month, the team beat Liverpool, Southampton, and Leicester City under the helm of the former Orlando Pirates star.

During Sunday night’s match, Benni was spotted patting player Scott McTominay on the back for his stellar work on the pitch.
