Benni McCarthy married 'Miss Edinburgh', fined for weight gain and helping Marcus Rashford

The Erik ten Hag revolution is in full swing at Manchester United, and there is a familiar name working behind the scenes at Old Trafford that perhaps isn’t getting much attention.

Benni McCarthy is best known for his time at Porto under Jose Mourinho and for playing in the Premier League with Blackburn Rovers. The South African striker scored 25 goals in 47 matches across all competitions to help Porto win the Champions League in 2003/04 and went on to score 37 goals in 120 appearances in the Premier League.

He ended his career with a forgettable spell at West Ham, before going into coaching. The 45-year-old worked at Hibernian in Scotland and in his native South Africa with Cape Town City and AmaZulu, before being brought to Old Trafford by Ten Hag.
