Zaha free to leave Man Utd on loan in January

27 October 2013 - 15:47

Wilfried Zaha has been told by manager David Moyes that he will be allowed to leave Old Trafford on loan in January. The former Crystal Palace winger has been linked with a return to his former club.

  • Chelsea to move for former Arsenal goalkeeper?
  • Former Chelsea boss to replace Erik ten Hag at Man Utd?

  • Zaha has so far struggled to force his way into David Moyes' plans this season as the likes of Nani and Antonio Valencia have been preferred to the England international starlet.



    The winger is already desperate to leave Old Trafford in search of first team football and at least four teams have made enquiries for his services. Everton, Crystal Palace and Fulham are amongst those who have already confirmed an interest in the player, whilst one other surprise team, believed to be Arsenal, are in the race for his loan signature.



    The player still remains an important part of Man Utd's plans for the future, as David Moyes said: "I've said if I couldn't get him a game I would look at it in January.



    "I really thought when he came in he needed to be here for six months to see how we work.



    "There is competition in the wide areas with Nani, Antonio Valencia, Ashley Young, Adnan Januzaj and even Shinji Kagawa - that makes it one of the areas where we are strong.



    "It's not because Wilf has not done enough, it's because we have got big, big competition and there are a lot of players to give some playing time to.



    "Unfortunately we've not been able to do that with Wilf. If I can't do a lot for him by January then I will look at it.



    "We've not had the right opportunity to introduce him as much as we'd like but he's very much in my plans."
