Hunt rebuilding United squad

Johannesburg - SuperSport United coach Gavin Hunt has made dramatic changes to his squad as he looks to recover from last season's disappointment.

Matsatsantsa dominated the Premier Soccer League between 2008 and 2010, winning three consecutive titles. However, they fell by the way side last term, only placing seventh on the table.

Hunt believes he has addressed the team's weaknesses by bringing in 13 players during the current transfer window.

"We had a big comedown last season. after three fantastic seasons," Hunt told the Sowetan.

"That's history. We are currently rebuilding the team. We've had massive changes brought about by the transfer of 13 players.

"But I'm confident in our new recruits who have brought experience and youth to the side."

"There's no pressure. We'll just take it one game at a time."
