Former Crystal Palace boss Ian Holloway believes Wilfried Zaha could play for Real Madrid.

Holloway sold him to the Red Devils and was hoping Sir Alex Ferguson would turn him into the next Cristiano Ronaldo.

He told LoveSport Radio: “I felt like Sir Alex Ferguson would have been the one to get the best out of him, because he did it with Ronaldo.

“Ronaldo was throwing his foot over the ball left right and centre, and that's why I phoned him when I was at Palace.

“We were losing control of Wilf [at Crystal Palace], he had an agent who was going to run out of time with him and he was under pressure to get a good move.

“We sold him and loaned him back, and I told him I don't think it was the right time to go.

“What I see from him now, I believe he's in the right place to get where he needs to be.

“He's loved by the Crystal Palace fans, he's loved by the staff and he can change a game for you, he can win any game.

“Right at the top level, I believe if he went to Real Madrid they would get the best out of him, I believe he can change a game with his ability.

“It's about learning to make the right choices.

“For me it's watch this space. I think he's in the right place for him."
