Could Saleng stick a dagger into Orlando Pirates’ hearts?
After his Orlando Pirates career fizzled out in acrimony, Monnapule Saleng enjoyed a decent loan stint with Orbit College. The mercuirial winger chipped in with two goals and three assists in 13 appearances for the PSL strugglers, and then sealed a permanent switch to Sundowns. He showed glimpses of his best on debut for the Brazilians against Sekhukhune, claiming an assist and linking up well with Iqraam Rayners. By Sundowns’ incredibly high standards, they’ve not been at their best in 2025-26. How ironic, then, that the addition of ex-Pirates man Saleng could help them get over the line for a ninth consecutive crown.
