Good luck to him, really needs to impress while over there, otherwise I can't see him getting any more chances at United itself.
 
Good luck WZ. Time to wake the eff up and salvage your United career. If you get your mind and attitude right many of us would want to see an obvious talent like you back.
 
its official now on our homepage but no word Palace have a buying option which was first reported. Glad if he has none and returns a better player!
 
Losses cut on another waste of money. Just a few more of those to go.
 
Looks a completely different player to the one we've seen in the past year or so, causing Newcastle all sorts of problems.

We've sold our 2 most exciting wingers and ended up with Valencia and Young.

fecking unbelievable.
 
Came on and was good.

He still has the most weird moments where he loses a ball in a tackle, but he still manages to somehow get the ball back.
 
It had to happen. The only time he played in the Prem for us was in a 0-1 defeat to Newcastle.

First game back at Palace against the Barcodes and he scores.
 
Not good enough for us, but in our interests he builds up his transfer fee.
 
Awaits comments about how United shouldn't have let him go just because he scored.
 
Glad he's started off well, lets hope he starts most games for them and gets a bit of confidence back.

How can you decide that already?

Fergie's philosophy used to be to trust young players and play them regularly and they will deliver. Zaha has always shown potential but he's never had trust placed in him in since he joined us.

Well Zaha would be terrible as a wingback in my opinion and so far this season we havent played with wingers. If we do revert back to wingers our 2 most exciting would surely be Januzaj and Di Maria?

Either way this is a good loan. If he shines he will come back a better player, if he doesn't then at least he will have played a good amount of games to put him in the shop window

? He is better than Valencia/Young so until we dont sign 2 wingers extra we would be stupid to sell him.

Well if we aren't playing with wingers then it would be stupid to keep him. A loan was the right move.

What can I say? We've had to watch 3 seasons of Valencia doing feck all and starting every game.

Hope Zaha kicks on comes back next season.

Zaha was shite for us and shite for Carrdif. To say that loaning him out is yet another reason why United are the worst club on the world is ridiculous.

Nani was as shit for us recently as Young & Valencia have been too, being 'exciting' is hardly enough for him to warrant staying on the back of his performances. Zaha you can argue about because he wasn't really given a proper chance but even so, he hardly impressed out on loan, tough situation or not, if he wanted to prove himself he had the chance to do it and didn't.

Hopefully he'll kick on at Palace and then come back next season and get involved around the first team more but let's not pretend it was some tragic decision to let him go. He needed a loan a lot more than he needs to be playing a few games here and there for us.

Zaha never played for us and to judge him based on how other managers treated him is ridiculous.

Wow. That's impressive. Especially considering he spent 70 minutes on the bench. Must be some player...

Apparently he's now a cross between Ronaldo, Pele and a young Jenny Agutter.

Van Gaal out!

Where in the feck did I saw United was the 'worst' club? Stop overreacting you muppet.

Zaha barely had any game time for us.
