“Hopefully this season, we’re going to see a completely revived United and a hungry bunch of players and a team that is going to be able to challenge beginning with the Champions League and hopefully change the dynamics.”

McCarthy, who was speaking alongside his former Bafana Bafana teammate and ex-United player Quinton Fortune as well as Red Devils legend Wes Brown, also shared their on-field battles.

“I always used to come off the pitch with a lot of bruises (because of Wes Brown) but I was happy because I scored so it was worth it,” McCarthy jokingly said, in refence to their battles in the Champions League whenever United faced FC Porto who the South African played for from 2002-2006.
