Man Utd Star Striker Praises ‘World-Class’ Benni

Man Utd Star Striker Praises ‘World-Class’ Benni

Manchester United's in-form star striker has lauded attacking coach and South Africa legend Benni McCarthy for the work he has done with the team this season.

There was a lot of expectation placed on Danish forward Rasmus Hojlund when the record Premier League champions paid a massive €73.90 million (R1.5 billion) for his services at the beginning of the season.

 The Red Devils had relied a lot on Marcus Rashford last season for goals and with his dip in form during the ongoing campaign, even more pressure was placed on the young Dane's shoulders.

He had no problem finding the back of net in the UEFA Champions League group stages, but struggled domestically as he went 14 league matches without finding the back of the net. However, the Scandinavian seems to have found his rhythm in the English topflight now, scoring five successive Premier League games.

In light of his new form, the 21-year-old attacker has praised the work that Bafana Bafana's all-time top goalscorer has been doing, not only with him, but for the entire team.

"He's a world class guy," Hojlund started off by telling SuperSport. "He's a very nice person. You can always talk with him as he wants to develop us players.

"He wants us to learn off him because he wants to make us better players and he's doing a very great job."

Erik ten Hag's men have won four and drawn one of the last five games that the ex-Atalanta manshas scored in, form that the Dutch man and McCarthy will be hoping he continues as the Mancunians look to continue climbing up the table.
