It would be a weird move, considering Wilfried Zaha did not leave Manchester United in the best of circumstances, however, if we take a deeper look into the matter, then this makes a lot of sense too. Firstly, almost every forward is overpriced in the current transfer market. Accordingly, buying attacking players will not be the primary objective for United this summer, however, they need a traditional right-winger who is capable of regularly playing on the right wing and can bring in a certain goal threat too.

United’s right flank is almost invisible in attack as none of the current players are natural right-wingers, to be honest. Alexis Sanchez, Juan Mata, Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford are all converted right wingers and hence they do not perform at their best in that position.

On the other hand, Zaha is a player who likes play on that flank and has been particularly impressive for the Eagles this season. In a sense, he solely sparked a remarkable turn-around as they were set to be relegated after a woeful start to the season.

With his brilliant pace and deceptive footwork, Zaha makes a fool of fullbacks with the number of tricks that he has up his sleeves. He can stretch the byline and puts in decent deliveries into the box too.

The Palace winger will thrive on the counter-attacks too and can rotate around the attacking positions due to versatility and talent. He has scored seven goals and assisted two goals in 25 appearances in the league this season. Once he plays in a better team with better-quality players around him, those stats are bound to improve. This move might be unlikely but could turn out to be a smart one eventually.
