Man Utd boss Solskjaer considers 'doing a Pogba' with Zaha

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is exploring the prospect of bringing Crystal Palace sensation Wilfried Zaha back to Old Trafford.

The Sun says Solskjaer was impressed by Zaha during their time together at Cardiff City.

Five years later and Solskjaer has the United job full-time, with a winger his priority this summer.

With Solskjaer, there was 100 per cent support for Zaha.

When the Palace ace was criticised after a 4-0 defeat to Sunderland, Solskjaer pointed out his running statistics.

And Zaha's quick feet even reminded Solskjaer of Cristiano Ronaldo.

He felt the youngster was brave but it was too early for United, but at 26, he is now an attractive buy to any the top clubs.

But United are no strangers to bringing back ex-players - as they did with Paul Pogba - and Solskjaer is a big fan.
