SuperSport United winger Aubrey Modiba says he has put his failed move to Tshwane rivals Mamelodi Sundowns behind him.
The 24-year-old was linked with a move to the Brazilians during the recent transfer window after Sundowns reportedly made a multimillion-rand offer for his services.
However, Sundowns failed to capture the signature of the versatile winger before the window closed and Modiba remained with Matsatsantsa.
‘I want to perform in each and every game and right now,’ Modiba told the media.
‘I just want to put everything behind me because the transfer window is closed, so I have to focus on SuperSport and make sure I do well for the team and not focus on the things that have passed.
‘I will not dwell on that but I will make sure I get stronger again and the team has been doing well, which is a good thing. So, I just have to wait for my chance to add value to the team again.’
Modiba believes his side can produce a positive result against their Tshwane rivals, despite Sundowns taking an away-goal advantage into the return leg.
‘They have got an advantage but we just have to make sure we score as well because we did manage to score in the first leg. Yes, it plays to their advantage right now but we still have another 90 minutes to play and I believe in our team,’ he added.
‘We can produce results. If we can get our heads right and deliver on the day, I think we can play in another final. I believe we have a strong team, whether it is Sundowns or whichever opponent, we have a team that can compete any day.
‘Sundowns are a very good team, they have not lost in the league and it will be an interesting game. We don’t focus on other teams but we are looking at ourselves because we have things we want to achieve as a team.’
SuperSport United will take on Mamelodi Sundowns in the return leg of their MTN8 semi-final clash at the Lucas Moripe Stadium on Wednesday, with kick-off set for 7:30pm.
