Newcastle boss Pardew wants 'phenomenal' Man Utd winger Zaha

Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew has revealed that he would love to sign Wilfried Zaha on loan from Manchester United.

The 21-year old winger has hardly featured for United since his summer move from Crystal Palace prompting Pardew to open the door for a possible January loan move to St James' Park.

"He's a Manchester United player, as far as I'm concerned," the Magpies boss told the press. "He's a player I know well. He played for my old team [Palace].

"He was absolutely phenomenal when they got promoted and he got a big move to Manchester United.

"Unfortunately, his career has stalled but, if an opportunity arises, we'll grasp it. If not, we won't."
