United set to sell Wilfried Zaha?

Manchester United are set to sell Wilfried Zaha in the summer as the Premier League champions look to cut their losses on the £10million they paid for the former Crystal Palace winger in January 2013.

Zaha was signed by Sir Alex Ferguson last season, but has failed to make an impression under new boss David Moyes and earned just two starts for the club before being loaned out to Cardiff City.

Under-fire Moyes is set for a summer spending spree in an attempt to bolster his squad and is reportedly happy for the 21-year-old to further his career elsewhere.

Class player, but doesnt do enough over 90 minutes to warrant his fee and massive wages.

going to be a buyers market this one.....

£3 to 4 million, don't forget the kid hasn't got to go anywhere and he must be on massive wages. He will need a nice lump sum up front from united to move on...

I can't believe how many in this thread are saying they would buy him! :shock:

We can get much better than Zaha for less money.

If the price is right, get him. Still young has a lot to learn but a great talent. Would offer more then renewing Bellamys contract.

Wilfried Zaha To Make Palace Return This Summer?

The Daily Mail are reporting that Manchester United are set to cut their losses on out of favour Wilfired Zaha, as boss David Moyes looks to embark on a major summer spending spree, leaving the winger out in the cold.

Having officially signed for United last January, Zaha was immediately loaned back to Crystal Palace, helping them gain promotion via the play-offs in May, but after joining up with his new teammates in pre-season, it became clear that David Moyes wasn’t overly enamoured with what the midfielder had to offer his new club.

After making just two appearances for the Reds, Zaha was allowed to leave United on loan, joining up with Ole-Gunnar Solskjaer at Cardiff City, where it was thought he may rediscover some of the form which saw Sir Alex Ferguson lay out such a big sum of money for him at the beginning of 2013, but after an initial burst of exuberance, the winger has seen his starting role disappear.

Should Moyes decide that Zaha will be allowed to leave Old Trafford permanently in the summer, you would assume that a large number of clubs would be extremely interested in securing his services, perhaps most of all his former club, Crystal Palace.
It is no secret that the club enquired about the possibility of taking Zaha on loan prior to his move to Cardiff being sanctioned, only for rumours to surface of Moyes dismissing the possibility of an agreement, supposedly because he wasn’t comfortable with the idea of the wide-man returning to London whilst still on United’s payroll.

Although that may be a concern for the former Everton manager, a deal that would see Zaha move on completely would take any worries from that perspective out of David Moyes’ hands, with Palace sure to be desperate to bring Wilf back to Selhurst Park, should they survive for another season in the Premier League.

Could we see a triumphant and permanent return for Wilfried Zaha this summer? It’s safe to say that we’d all love to see it.

Palace wanted him on loan in january. But united loaned him to cardiff because of OGS. OGS understands how united play and they thought it would be better for his development. OGS contacts at Old Trafford might help if the club wants him but honestly I could see him ending up at a mid table club. He is still young with massive potential.

Wouldn't touch him with a barge poll, complete waste of money, he should go back to Palace where he is happiest and fight for his PL place next season under Pullis, at least that way he will still be playing PL football, as opposed to Championship football :bluescarf: :old: :bluescarf:

Zaha in either league at 5m would be good business. He is very raw and I think needs some coaching week in week out but his potential is huge.
If he goes to a club for next season and has a preseason playing I think he can do well.

As has been mentioned, for the right price he would be a great signing. :ole:

Zaha come home! Palace chairman keen to see Man Utd starlet return to club
CRYSTAL PALACE chairman Steve Parish has revealed he would be interested in bringing Wilfried Zaha back to the club.

The England U21s regular failed to break into the Manchester United squad under boss David Moyes, having been brought to the Premier League champs in a £12m deal by former boss Sir Alex Ferguson.

And Parish admits Zaha, currently on-loan at Cardiff, would be the calibre of player he'd like to see at the club in the summer should the Eagles avoid relegation.

"Wilf's a fantastic player, I certainly think we would be interested," he said.

"United have not said anything official, he's their player, but if a player like that did become available then I am sure we would be interested.

"If we are fortunate enough to stay in the division, we will be looking to kick on and establish ourselves and try to get up to mid-table and be a bit more comfortable.

"Wilfried is a player who is worthy of the division and is a player who could help anybody.

"We saw him come on for Cardiff at the weekend and he changed the game, so if a situation arose for that kind of player, of course we would be interested."

No chance of him coming if we get relegated.
