On Thursday, Ten Hag confirmed the departures of McCarthy and assistant manager Mitchell van der Gaag.
Mitchell has decided that now is the right time for him to pursue his own ambitions in a number one position.
I want to pay tribute to his fantastic service over the past two years, and also to Benni for his important contributions. We send them our thanks and best wishes for the future, said Ten Hag.
McCarthy joined the Red Devils in July 2022 as the first team coach after the appointment of Ten Hag as the manager, with emphasis on mentoring the clubs forwards.
The all-time Bafana Bafana top goalscorer, who was linked with Kaizer Chiefs before they appointed Nasreddine Nabi as their new head coach, won two trophies - the Carabao Cup and the FA Cup - in his two-year stay at Old Trafford.
