Palace boss Holloway: Zaha will be better for Man Utd place battle

Crystal Palace boss Ian Holloway believes Wilfried Zaha's battle for minutes at Manchester United can help his career.

The 20-year-old has yet to play any part under new manager David Moyes. But ­Crystal Palace chief Holloway believes that will not do him any harm as he prepares to take his side to Old Trafford today.

He said: "Maybe it is what he needs to take him to the next level.

"Wilf is going to have to learn that and it is part of being at a big club.

"He has to realise he is not that big a fish anymore and he has to learn to swim with them.

"But I think his career at Man United will be a success because of the boy that he is. David will select him at the right time. I am delighted for him."
