Benni McCarthy: Bafana Stars Teboho Mokoena and Ronwen Williams Are Ready for Europe
Benni McCarthy believes that Bafana Bafana stars Teboho Mokoena and Ronwen Williams have the potential to succeed in Europe's top leagues. The duo, key players for Mamelodi Sundowns, have not only dominated the Premier Soccer League (PSL) but also impressed on the international stage, particularly during Bafana's bronze-medal performance at the Africa Cup of Nations.
Williams made history as the first South African and African player to be nominated for the prestigious Yashin Trophy while playing on the continent. McCarthy, speaking to SuperSport, praised their consistency and suggested they are more than capable of playing in Europe, including at the Champions League level. However, he noted that clubs may be hesitant to release such valuable players.
McCarthy, now part of Manchester United's coaching staff, has recently drawn attention for his comments on United manager Erik ten Hag, stirring discussion about leadership and passion.
