Man Utd coach McCarthy drops Booth transfer hint

Manchester United first team coach Benni McCarthy appears to have revealed a transfer target.

The South African has been at the club since the start of last season, assisting head coach Erik ten Hag.

McCarthy, who primarily works with United's forwards, was giving an interview earlier this month and appeared to hint at a move for Utrecht's Taylor Booth.

"Erik ten Hag came in and he spoke to my agent, Rob Moore, about one of the players that was playing in Holland," McCarthy told 947 Joburg.

"He asked Rob about an American player that Rob also managed.

"They were just speaking about that and once the conversation had ended, he asked him: 'By the way, how's Benni? How is Benni doing? Is he still working in South Africa?' Rob told him that I had left and was living back in Scotland.

"He then asked Rob to tell me to give him [Ten Hag] a call and if I could go and see him in Manchester. When Rob told me the manager wanted to come and see him, there was a massive lump in my throat.

"I called him, I spoke to him and he asked me to come down and deliver a training session."
