'Benni McCarthy failed to recruit Mamelodi Sundowns players while he was at Manchester United, he must forget about Masandawana! You can take Teboho Mokoena, Ronwen Williams will embarrass us in Europe' - Fans

The Brazilians' supporters and football fans in general have responded to McCarthy's latest interesting remarks about Downs players. 

Bafana Bafana icon Benni McCarthy has stated that if he were to receive a coaching job with a European team, he would take Teboho Mokoena and Ronwen Williams with him.

The Mamelodi Sundowns duo has been performing exceptionally well for the Tshwane club since joining from SuperSport United a few years back and they have been urged to pursue opportunities overseas.

McCarthy, who served as an assistant coach at Manchester United six months ago, feels that the two Bafana players are prepared for Europe and he can recruit them at any time.

In light of his intriguing comments, local football supporters have responded, and here, GOAL shares with you some of the prominent opinions.

  • Teboho Mokoena, Mamelodi Sundowns

    Mokoena yes, but Williams?

    I can only agree with you regarding Teboho Mokoena, but as for Ronwen Williams, I'm not sure I hope you didn't play a race card with Ronza. For me, he is not good enough. He is just decorated by good players around him at the moment. I really respect you a lot. You are the only greatest player ever to be so successful abroad.

    We don't owe Europe any of our best players, this mentality must stop, we're leaders in Africa for heaven's sake! How many players went there and failed to make it to the starting eleven dismally? - Respectk Creed

    You are wrong Benni...

    You were at Manchester United, and you didn't call our players, but when you want to coach small teams you want them, no Benni - Makhobi 

  • Ronwen Williams Mamelodi Sundowns 2023Getty

    People will laugh at us haa haa...

    Maybe Teboho Mokoena can play anywhere in Europe, but Williams no no, he will embarrass us in the big leagues, he is not enough for Europe - Mabero 10

  • Mamelodi Sundowns, Motsepe, Infantino African Football LeagueBackpage

    Sundowns paying enough?

    Not every player wants to go to Europe like you Benni, I think Sundowns is taking care of their players better than other European teams, no racism here like in Europe - Ras Mamagau

    Downs & Benni know something...

    Something's brewing between McCarthy and Sundowns! Why all of a sudden he's interested in Sundowns dealings? - Cecil Kutuka 

  • Benni McCarthy Manchester UnitedGetty

    You were there before, but...

    The only man who talks more than Julius Malema. He was in Europe, did he get even a youth player enlisted into the academy of any European team? Nothing!  - Katongo Luo 

  • Manqoba Mngqithi, Mamelodi Sundowns Backpage

    Please, Benni!

    Benni is too obsessed with Sundowns Man! Can't he give us a break? Yoooh! We have our lovely Coach Manqoba who is doing a marvelous job for us at Downs. Get out and look for a job at Kaizer Chiefs or Orlando Pirates. We don't need you in Chloorkop - Jacky Shiburi

    I agree with you Benni, football is not about money but experience out there, playing with big names means a lot to our football, the world is not only here - Gezani Chauke
