Man Utd Transfer News: Wilfried Zaha To Join This Week?
Guardian. Ferguson has not travelled with his squad to Qatar for four-days of warm weather training in the build-up to their FA Cup clash with Fulham at the weekend, and has instead stayed in England in order to complete the deal for Zaha, who is considered one of the most exciting young talents outside of the Premier League. Arsenal were also interested in the player, who was born in the Ivory Coast but made his England debut against Sweden in November. However, Wenger looks set to miss out with United inching closer to finalising the deal after the Gunners' boss admitted that he has not yet made a formal offer. The Premier League leaders appear to have won the race for Zaha despite Palace taking a tough stance over their prized asset by insisting that he is not for sale. Palace are pushing for promotion to the Premier League this season and are reluctant to sell. However, United's willingness to loan Zaha back for the remainder of the season could see the deal go through for £12 million.
