This website broke the news yesterday that Dauda was on his way to Port Elizabeth to join United.

He has since signed a two-year contract with the Chilli Boys, and is expected to train with his new teammates today.

"It's a done deal," confirms United boss Chippa Mpengesi.

"We have finalised the paperwork with Pirates. It's an outright purchase from Pirates."

Dauda, who competed at the recent World Cup, made just two starts and one substitute appearance for Pirates in his only season with the club last term.
