Crystal Palace not pursuing Man Utd's Zaha

Crystal Palace will not pursue Wilfried Zaha this summer according to manager Ian Holloway.

The 20-year old winger is now a Manchester United player after departing Selhurst Park at the end of last season and in order to be fair, Holloway says he will not ask United to loan the talented attacker back for the 2013/14 campaign.

"I don't think for one minute I'd even consider asking David Moyes about signing him right now," Holloway told talkSPORT. "I don't think it's fair to the boy. He's got to have a go at United.

"I'm sure I know Moyes that well that if there was a club in the Premier League that Wilfried Zaha wanted to play for, if it wasn't Manchester United, I'm sure it would be us. So, I'm sure the phone would ring.

"Let's be perfectly honest, I think the boy is so exciting he's going to have a chance at United and I can see him getting in their first team. I genuinely mean that.

"I wish him all the best in his Manchester United career and well done to them for buying him.

"Sir Alex Ferguson very rarely gets them wrong and David Moyes will be delighted he's found that talent in his midst, because he can win games at the very, very top level."
