Mamelodi Sundowns Told How Monnapule Saleng Can Return to His Best Form

Benedict Vilakazi remains confident that Monnapule Saleng has the potential to return to top form at Mamelodi Sundowns, provided he receives the right guidance and support.

Saleng was confirmed as Sundowns’ second acquisition of the current transfer window on Friday. The winger spent the first half of the season on loan at Orbit College after falling out of favour at Orlando Pirates.

Vilakazi, also known as ‘Tso,’ expressed satisfaction that the 27-year-old made the most of his opportunity at Orbit College. He emphasised that Saleng would benefit from a coach who can guide him off the field as well, ensuring he maintains the right mindset for performance on it.

“I still have faith in him. He just needs to regain his confidence and get the proper support,” Tso told iDiski TV.

“One thing many coaches overlook is player management. He needs someone to guide him off the pitch before expecting consistent results on it. The club must understand him, and he must grasp the team’s expectations and the coach’s approach.

All the players who joined Sundowns from pirates, will give you a similar story. Manyisa being the latest. The Iron Duke called them to the office and took them to Sundowns. This to is due to their demands and some to being ill discipline and some to their contracts coming to an end. So by doing that he cashes in knowing very well the is only one team that can pay what he wants. Some even mentioned that Sundowns never made offers, but DR Khoza decided to send them to Sundowns.

I don't think Saleng will fit Sundowns style of play. In most cases Sundowns don't play with wingers.(look at Maseko, look at Mandietas stay at Sundowns). Unless they are going to accommodate Saleng.His a great player no doubt.

These guys used to criticize Saleng when he was playing for Pirates, saying he was not their favourite and he is selfish. Now they are praising him because he is going to Sundowns, their favourite team.
