Former Mamelodi Sundowns star Manqoba Ngwenya has heaped praises on the Brazilians for signing Monnapule Saleng, a player he feels fits the club’s DNA.
In what was a move that sent shockwaves throughout PSL media in the last couple of days, Saleng joined Sundowns following a brief loan spell at Orbit College from Orlando Pirates.
According to Ngwenya, Saleng comes in as a great addition, potentially alongside Mosimane, who has been linked with a sensational return to Chloorkop.
“This Saleng signing is huge for Sundowns. It’s a statement signing, showing that Sundowns want to return to their glory days,” Ngwenya told the Sowetan.
“This Saleng signing has coach Pitso written all over it,” Ngwenya told Sowetan at the weekend.
“We’ve seen reports that the club wants to bring Pitso back, so that makes sense with this Saleng signing. Saleng is a natural winner, and he’s a big player, so his profile fits Sundowns.”
