Parish says Palace would welcome back Man Utd outcast Zaha

Crystal Palace co-owner Steve Parish admits they'd be keen to re-sign Wilfried Zaha from Manchester United.

Parish insists the 21-year-old winger would be welcome back in south-east London, but stresses the decision is up to Palace boss Tony Pulis - and United.

"Manchester United are not quite sure what they're doing with him so out of respect for them, it's not for me to talk about that," Parish told Sky Sports News.

"I'm sure that if he can, he'll try to be a permanent fixture at Manchester United this season.

"It's up to the manager, the players we sign. It's not up to me. I'm there to help him get the squad he wants.

"There's a sentimental value and I loved Wilf as a kid and he did sensational things for us.

"I know the fans would like him back and that will play a part, but in the end the manager will decide what we do."
