United will not sell star players to rival clubs – Davids

Maritzburg United coach Fadlu Davids has insisted that none of his star names will be sold to another Absa Premiership side at the end of this season, and that they will only leave the club if they can move to European football.


The likes of Siphesihle Ndovu and Lebo Maboe have burst onto the scene in a brilliant season for the Team of Choice, and are bound to have attracted the interest of clubs with greater resources, like Mamelodi Sundowns and Kaizer Chiefs.

“My main thing is, and the chairman has got it, that nobody will leave at the end of the season unless it is a European offer. Not locally, for Ndlovu or Maboe or all the players in the market. It makes me excited to be able to improve the team and take it to the next level.

“I have had discussions and meetings with the players and they agree, it is their ambition to go to Europe and our job as a club to help them get there. They do not want to go (to another local club), they want the opportunity to go to Europe.”
