Wilfried Zaha will always be remembered as Sir Alex Ferguson’s last signing for Manchester United although he was immediately loaned back to Crystal Palace.

Zaha only played four games for Manchester United before he was sold back to Crystal Palace on 2 February 2015 while he was already on a season-long loan at Palace.

He has been a key player for Palace since his return and played over 30 league games in his first three seasons with them in the Premier League. However, it was in 2017/18 season when he became truly world class.

The 25-year-old scored 9 and assisted three goals as Palace beat odds to save their Premier League status. What was astonishing was the fact that Palace rarely won a game when Zaha was absent and he missed a few games through injury last season.

The former Manchester United man who has been named Crystal Palace Player of the Year in the last three seasons is now linked with a move away from Palace and that too with a couple of Premier League’s Big 6 teams.
