When Wilfried Zaha was bought to Manchester United from
Crystal Palace in the January of the 2012/2013 season, I wouldn't say it set
United fans' tongues wagging but there was some interest and partial excitement
on my behalf to see how this fledgling Ivorian would develop under the tutelage
of the great Sir Alex. Born in Ivory Coast's capital Abidjan the winger is
blessed with pace along the deck and a skill set that can baffle defending
opposition at times.
However his star has faded somewhat in the recent years,
with David Moyes at the helm and his knack of playing young English players,
that Zaha might have gone up a level, sadly that didn't prove to be the case.
Whether the player wasn't working hard enough in training to warrant more
playing time from Moyes, his attitude wasn't right or Moyes just didn't fancy
involving Zaha much still remains a mystery. After a 62 minute debut in the
community shield vs. Wigan and a start against Norwich in the League Cup,
he was shipped off to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's Cardiff City.
His loan didn't do much to inspire an already floundering
team in the shape of Cardiff City and inevitably they were relegated.
As a result he returned to United and was loaned back to
Crystal Palace, where he first started turning heads. In terms of appearances
its been a much more successful loan than the Ivorian's spell in the Welsh
capital. Currently he has fifteen appearances for the South London side and
netted the a stoppage time equaliser on his debut against Newcastle.
Fair enough he hasn't exactly been in sizzling form for
Palace but I for one am hoping that an extended run of BPL games back at a
place where he is loved by the fans, will see him get back to the sort of form
he producing on a fairly regular basis before his Manchester move.
It remains to be seen whether he remains in Louis Van Gaal's
plans for the future, especially with the influx of signings at Old
Trafford and future acquisitions that could be paraded in the summer.
In an ideal world he comes back from his Palace loan at the
end of the season and does enough to convince LVG to give him one last chance
to prove his worth, and that he takes that chance with both hands. Consequently
realising the potential he has and establishes himself as a good Premier League
player and member of the national setup. Still if it turns out to be the case
that his future doesn't lie at the twenty times champions I hope he doesn't
just fade into mediocrity.
