“Sundowns have been pursuing Aubrey for a long time and the reality is we cannot come anywhere close to what is available to him (from them),” said SuperSport CEO Stan Matthews
SuperSport United have confirmed the sale of Aubrey Modiba to crosstown rivals – Mamelodi Sundowns after the Brazilians have been willing to land him in the club for the past couple of seasons.
The versatile player will join the team with immediate effect since club chief executive officer – Stanley Matthews said United could no longer fend off Masandawana.
“Sundowns have been pursuing Aubrey for a long time and the reality is we cannot come anywhere close to what is available to him,” Matthews was quoted as saying by the club’s Twitter account.

“He has been a fantastic player for us on the pitch, a wonderful young man off the field, of whom we are very proud , and we wish him every success in the future – a future which looks very bright indeed,” Matthews added.
Modiba will be playing along a growing list of new recruits, in persons of Peter Shaulile, George Maluleka, Mothobi Mvala, Ricardo Goss, Hashim Domingo, and Gift Motupa.
Sundowns are also expected to disclose a new head coach, since Pitso Mosimane resigned earlier this week to begin as a head coach for Egyptian giants – Al Ahly.
