Benni McCarthy hails Rashford
Rashford has looked resurgent this season under new manager Erik ten Hag. The player himself deserves credit to, as does new striker coach Benni McCarthy.
McCarthy was delighted to see Rashford net the derby winner, and urged him not to ease up.
Rashford now has 16 goals for Manchester United this season. He is on course to surpass his personal best tally of 22.
He also has six assists to his name, trailing only Christian Eriksen.
While this incredible form will inevitably hit a lull at some stage, it’s great to see right now, and Rashford will be determined for it to continue as long as possible.
