Brugge head coach Philippe Clement, however, has clearly now decided Tau is ready to start for his club again, and the 25 year-old Bafana striker did make an impact after coming on in Club Brugge’s domestic league game at home to Waasland-Beveren on the weekend, setting up a last minute winner for Mats Rits.
The chance to play Manchester United, albeit a watered-down version of the old English powerhouse, is another landmark for Tau in a season in which he has already played against Real Madrid and Paris St Germain in the Uefa Champions League.
Kick off for the game is 7.55pm SA time.
