Crystal Palace’ co-owner Steve Parish wants £20 million for the 20-year-old. However, it is stated that United will not be offering them any more than £12 million, and the deal might include performance related bonuses.
It is also said that United would not like the bid to exceed £8 million and they will make sure that this does not happen when they try to land this winger/striker as David Gill confirms the interest.
United will also be ready to loan him back to Crystal Palace for the rest of the season. They could also send some other player, along with Zaha, to Palace on loan, as a part of the Zaha deal. Talking to Sky Sports, Gill said : “He’s one of the players we’re looking at and we’ll see what happens. There’s a long way to go.But even if we did do something with Wilfried Zaha, that would be for the summer.”
Arsenal could be affected by this move as the North Londoners really want to sign him as well. There could be some competition for Manchester United her.
Since the CEO has confirmed, the manager and the scouts have done their work successfully, we warmly welcome him.
