Crystal Palace ace Wilfried Zaha has described his time with Manchester United as "hell".

Zaha only made four appearances for United after joining the club in 2013 as one of the most promising young talents in the country for £10m.

"Obviously, getting to United isn't easy, so not being given a chance is hard to take," Zaha told ShortList.

"I don't regret anything because it made me stronger. I feel as though I can deal with anything now. I went through so much with United."

Zaha was referring to rumours surrounding his inclusion in the United team, and how the club supported him.

He said: "There were rumours that the reason I wasn't playing for United was because I slept with David Moyes's daughter, and no one [at United] attempted to clear that up.

"So I was fighting my demons by myself, these rumours that I knew weren't true. I was dealing with this at 19; living in Manchester by myself, nowhere near anyone else, because the club had a hold over where I lived.

"They hadn't given me a car, like every other player [had]. Nothing. I'm living in this hell by myself, away from my family, and I thought, 'If this doesn't make me stronger, what will?'

"When I was at United I had [money], but I was still so down and depressed. People think your life's different because you've got money, you've got fame, so they don't treat you the same."
