Ngezana & Co Lauded Ahead Of Man Utd Clash

Siyabonga Ngezana's performances in the backline have been recognised, as he and his fellow defenders have been singled out ahead of FCSB's UEFA Europa League clash with Manchester United.

After recently being recognised as the SuperLig's best defender by Romanian publication Fanatik, another publication has now highlighted FC Steaua Bucuresti's quality defence.

Ngezana and his teammates face the Red Devils on the final matchday of the UEFA Europa League league phase on Thursday evening at home.

The Reds and Blues have already qualified from the league phase, but whether they play a play-off knockout stage match or progress directly to the Round of 16 in the next round will largely depend on what transpires against United at the National Arena.

Looking ahead to FCSB's matchup against Ruben Amorim's men, the Manchester Evening News spoke to Cezar Titor of Romania's Gazeta Sporturilor, who highlighted the backline as the team's greatest strength, mentioning the Bafana Bafana man in the likely starting XI.

"Watch out for Adrian Sut, an excellent midfielder who also scored two goals from set-pieces in the last game against Qarabag. Although, I would say FCSB has excelled in defence this season. Even the wingers have defended tirelessly during European games, a true testament that the team has learned how to suffer," he said.

"Tarnovanu – Cretu, Ngezana, M. Popescu, Radunovic – Miculescu, Edjouma, Sut, Alhassan, Fl. Tanase – Birligea would be the probable starting XI for FCSB against United."
