Bafana Bafana legend Benni McCarthy has compared Premier Soccer League side Kaizer Chiefs to English Premier League giants Manchester United in one aspect.

McCarthy worked as Erik ten Hag's assistant coach for two seasons before being shown the exit doors at the end of his contract with the club last summer.

During his two seasons with the Red Devils, the South African coach won two titles: the Carabao Cup and the FA Cup.

McCarthy compares Kaizer Chiefs to Manchester United

In an interview with iDiskiTimes, McCarthy opened up on the pressure he experienced with the EPL giants despite winning two trophies in the same number of seasons at the club.

The former Cape Town City manager compared the pressure at Manchester United to that at Kaizer Chiefs, claiming the Glamour Boys are also a big club in the South African league like the Red Devils are in England.

"Definitely, because Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates are historical teams in our league, you know," the former Orlando Pirates star said.

"So when you play at a Chiefs, like at United, there's so much pressure, so much demand, even from the fans, more than where it is anywhere else."

McCarthy's former boss, ten Hag, was sacked by Manchester United late last month after a poor run of results in the league and the UEFA Europa League.
