McCarthy has had a decent start to his coaching career and Man United have taken note

It will be a dream move for the 44-year-old who is a lifelong fan of the Premier League giants.

McCarthy had an impressive playing career which saw him land Europe’s elite trophy with Porto in 2004.

He also played for Ajax, Celta Vigo, Blackburn Rovers and West Ham before he ended his career his his homeland with South African side Orlando Pirates.

Ten Hag brought Steve McClaren and Mitchell van der Gaag with him upon his arrival at Old Trafford.

Now, though, the Dutch boss has made another addition with McCarthy reportedly tasked with, amongst other roles, helping forwards with their finishing and positioning.

He previously managed Cape Town City and Amazulu.

In an interview with FourFourTwo back in 2017, McCarthy revealed he was admonished back in 2004 for his reaction to helping Porto beat the Red Devils in the Champions League.

He netted twice in the 2-1 victory in Portugal before a 1-1 draw sent them into the quarter-finals of the competition.

“I support Man United and always wanted to play for them,” he said. “I loved players like Mark Hughes, Andy Cole and Ryan Giggs.

“So I was heartbroken to score twice. My dream was to score once at Old Trafford, not to knock United out of the Champions League. I got hammered after the game by Jose Mourinho because I wasn’t very happy. He told me that if I didn’t cheer up then I’d never play in his team again.”

Liverpool 1-1 Leicester City: Reds fail to go seven points clear of Manchester City with lacklustre draw

Image
http://bit.ly/2GbpR4P Liverpool missed a golden opportunity to go seven points clear at the top of the Premier League after only managing a 1-1 draw at home to Leicester. Following Manchester City’s defeat at Newcastle last night, the Reds could have put themselves in a commanding position at the summit and got off to the perfect start when Sadio Mane gave Liverpool the lead after just two minutes. But the Reds were lacklustre and let Leicester back in it when Harry Maguire took advantage of some slack defending to equalise just before the break. It means Liverpool are now five points clear of Pep Guardiola’s men but it was not the result Jurgen Klopp’s men were looking for. MORE TO FOLLOW Let's block ads! (Why?)
