Sundowns set to unleash new 'Percy Tau'
Mamelodi Sundowns are planning to unleash another striker, with a similar skill-set to that of their former blistering attacker Percy Tau, in the new season that starts with an MTN assignment against Polokwane City.
The side has previously struggled in the striker's role whenever Shalulile or Ribeiro, or both, are unavailable due to injuries.And with Sales expected to be given an adaptation period before becoming a permanent fixture in the squad, Masandawana would need to come up with other options ahead of what will be a long and congested season.
However, coach Manqoba Mngqithi has revealed that he has been playing Thapelo Maseko as a striker during their pre-season preparations and that's the position he feels best suits his strengths. " Khama , sometimes close to a Percy as well, but you must know he's a little bit powerful physically. Sometimes you can use him to block the centre-backs before they come in because he's quicker to arrive," the 53-year-old gaffer added.
