Manchester United's new first team coach Benni McCarthy has spoken for the first time since he joined the club as a first team coach.
On Saturday it was announced that the lifelong United fan would be joining Erik ten Hag and his backroom staff for the forthcoming season. McCarthy will offer particular insight to the forwards at United having scored goals for the likes of Ajax, Porto and Blackburn Rovers.
Speaking to MUTV before United's pre-season friendly with Rayo Vallecano, McCarthy explained how special it is to join the Reds. He said: "I am delighted to be here and I hope to make a real difference to United this season.

"There is no bigger stage than this. To be here is a privilege and the smallest chance that these players get should be grabbed with both hands.
"Listen the mentality around the club is now completely different. The manager has addressed the issues and hopefully this season you will see a completely different United and a different hunger among the players.
"We hope that we can challenge to get in among the Champions League places and hopefully change the dynamics of the [Manchester] Citys and the Liverpools."
