Sundowns will welcome the Team of Choice to the Lucas Moripe Stadium in their last home match of the 2016/17 season.
Mosimane’s men didn’t do themselves any favours when they drew against Baroka FC in their last match which saw them stay two points behind log leaders Bidvest Wits.
“It’s a must win‚” he said. “You don’t win that one forget (about the league). If you don’t win then you will hope that others don’t win.
“We must win so that we don’t have to focus on what others must do. Maybe we will be sharper and quicker upfront.
“We lacked teeth and venom against Saint George (in the Champions League). Nothing!”
The African Coach of the Year is aware of the threat posed by United coming into this match following their impressive showing against league title contenders, Wits.
“They played well against Wits. It’s not a team that you can just walk all over. But at this point in time‚ which team is easy?
“Look at Highlands and how they fought against Chippa (United). You never know what will happen. The results will surprise you.”
