Gavin Hunt full of praise for Grant Margeman

SuperSport United coach Gavin Hunt has praised his midfielder Grant Margeman for his work in the middle of the park.

The stocky midfielder scored the winner for Matsatsantsa in their 2-1 win over Stellenbosch FC 2-1 at the Danie Craven Stadium in Cape Town.

SuperSport United came from a goal behind to claim all three points and move second in the DStv Premiership table. Gavin Hunt’s side are five points behind Mamelodi Sundowns but have a game in hand over their Tshwane rivals.

Hunt gets SuperSport United to a flying start

Margeman completed a permanent move away from Mamelodi Sundowns ahead of the current season and so far, has been one of the best-performing midfielders in the league. His coach Gavin Hunt said Margeman can get better if he just need to be more consistent.

“Ja [it’s an instruction from me], he’s got that in his make-up but he doesn’t do it enough, I think he’s got so much speed over 10, 15 metres he can play combinations,” Hunt said.

“We don’t play with defensive midfield players and attacking midfield players, I don’t believe in that – so we need to understand the moments of the game.

“And he’s good in those moments, he can give us more, but the games he’s played here, he’s been good for us – long may it continue but yes, it’s an instruction from me,” Hunt added.
