Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha: No Man Utd bitterness (now)

Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha insists he holds no grudge against former club Manchester United.

Zaha smiles when he is asked about the final game of the season. On May 21, Palace travel to Manchester United.

He told The Sun: “I don't feel any bitterness towards them.

“I used to be annoyed about it. But I did not play much and it was difficult being away from home for the first time.

“I remember Christmas 2013. I hoped David Moyes would let me go to London with family as I wasn't playing, but he refused.

“I spent Christmas Eve on my own. I didn't even have dinner.

Dougie Freedman, who lives around Manchester, invited me to spend Christmas Day with his family. Then on Boxing Day, I travelled to Hull to sit in the stands."
