Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha faces an uncertain future and his fall from grace has been incredible. After being the talk of the country only a few years ago following impressive performances down in the Championship with Crystal Palace, a move to Manchester United came at the wrong time for the young England international.
Apart from losing his spot in the England national team, Zaha is even facing a big fight to feature in this Crystal Palace team on a regular basis. After making only two appearances for United in the last two years, Zaha is reportedly very keen on making the return to Palace a permanent one.
The 22-year-old has recently stated that he is not sure whether he would return to Selhurst Park on a permanent basis, but the club’s new manager Alan Pardew says that he has been happy with the performances so far.
Zaha featured in only 16 minutes during the 2-1 win against Tottenham, but he played an even bigger role in the 3-2 win over Burnley. However, he has failed to last the full 90 minutes in both these matches and this has raised suspicions that Pardew may decide to pass up the opportunity to permanently sign Zaha.
“I’m not sure about that option. What I do know is that he’s a player that needs to get his career on the move again.He’s had a decent couple of games and he needs to build on that. I think that is where he’s at. He’s a talent that needs to nail down a permanent position here, whether he’s on loan or permanent, but I’ve been very pleased with what I have seen. He has certainly got the ability. Wilfried has got a lot going for him and he has the potential to have an impact on the international stage at some point,” said Pardew.
