Chenene, an off-season signing from Moroka Swallows, has netted twice in three Premiership outings this campaign, most recently scoring in the 3-1 victory over champions Kaizer Chiefs on August 31.

The 29-year-old also impressed with 10 League goals last term.  

"Everybody says Bennett is the signing of the season for United, but I think he's got more to offer than he's doing currently," Johnson is quoted as saying by the Premier Soccer League's official website.

"I think he did a lot better at Swallows and he still has to learn or understand the players that are around him now.

"At SuperSport we ask a little bit more, we ask him to track back. It's the third game, I think he'll get better," concluded the ex-Platinum Stars mentor.

Meanwhile, Chenene has revealed he has set himself a 15-goal target.  

"I hope to continue this season where I left off last season - working hard, and helping the team by scoring as many goals as I can. I have set myself a target of 15 for the season," he said. 

On his form, he added: "Nothing has changed with me, it’s just been about hard work, playing regularly and gaining in confidence with more game-time."
