‘Saleng is just an average player but Pirates will regret losing him! Bucs winning PSL without Monnapule is impossible’

Mamelodi Sundowns reclaimed their top position in the Premier Soccer League after beating Sekhukhune United 3-1 on Sunday at the Loftus Versfeld Stadium.

Finally, South Africa international and former Orlando Pirates winger Monnapule Saleng finally made his debut, and his impact was immediate as he assisted Iqraam Rayners for Masandawana’s third goal.

It was a theme of joy for the 27-year-old, as well as the Yellow Nation. Have a look at what they said as compiled by Afrik-Foot.

Saleng always wanted to play for Sundowns

I said last year that Orlando Pirates could have won the Premier Soccer League, but without Saleng, it’s going to be impossible. This lad is good, and we are going to regret losing him – Musa Evans Mkhabela

Saleng showed hunger, and that’s what we expect from a player in a big team’s first appearance – Ayanda Isar Sarr MButhuma

Monnapule Saleng is just an average player who almost sent Orbit College back to the second-tier – Keketso Ncheke Vinho 

I wonder what Saleng really did at Orlando Pirates that was unforgivable – Kuda Mzama 

Saleng always wanted to play for Sundowns even before he played for Pirates, so now he’s home, let him be – SanzyNtuthu Yesizwe

Pirates forgot about Saleng already

In Monnapule Saleng, Orlando Pirates have a bullet there. Many are going to die slowly –  Thumain Miya 

My favourite player, I don’t care about you leaving Orlando Pirates, I still love you, boy –  Qwaber Mnguny

Monnapule Saleng is past tense, he is like Doctor Khumalo and Jerry Skhosana –  Reuben Reuben 

The marathon has started, now let’s wait and see who scores the most goals. Because I don’t see these two teams losing their next 5 games, only goals will count at the end of the season –  Thomson Thabo

At Pirates, we forgot about Saleng already. It’s not like Sundowns will play against Pirates every week, where Saleng will be the difference maker. Pirates have to keep winning their games if they want to win the league –  Vhafuwi Musanda
