Mamelodi Sundowns coach Manqoba Mngqithi confirmed that Abubeker Nasir has joined SuperSport United.
Nasir, 24, had a great start at Masandawana, scoring three goals in his first four games in 2022/23 after joining from Ethiopia Bunma.

However, he then picked up a serious injury in the MTN8 semi-final against Orlando Pirates and has struggled to find back to the prolific goalscoring form that earned him his move to Chloorkop since.
He wasn’t registered under Rulani Mokwena last season, but was part of pre-season under Manqoba Mngqithi and even on the scoresheet in a 3-0 friendly win over Al Arabi.
But there had been no official update on the Ethiopian striker until Mngqithi confirmed in Tuesday’s press conference that he has moved to Matsatsantsa.
“Nasir is not at Sundowns at the moment and I think he’s at SuperSport,” he stated after his side’s 4-1 win over Marumo Gallants when asked about Nasir’s whereabouts.
“I thought you should know that.”
SuperSport are yet to confirm the arrival of the Sundowns striker, who should help ease the club’s injury crisis after main goalscorer Bradley Grobler has been ruled out for several months.
