Wilfried Zaha set to snub Arsenal & Tottenham for £12m move to Manchester United


Wilfried Zaha is on the verge of joining Manchester United for £12million.

Alex Ferguson’s side look to have beaten off Arsenal and Spurs in the race to sign the Crystal Palace whizkid.

United have held talks with the Eagles over a deal which is believed to be worth an initial £8m, plus add-ons, and the promise of loan players to help the Championship side’s promotion bid.

Ivory Coast-born Zaha made his international debut as a substitute in England’s 4-2 friendly defeat to Sweden last November.

Both the Gunners and Tottenham had been keen on the 20-year-old winger.

But United boss Fergie has been tracking Zaha for some time and looks to have finally got his man.

It is understood Palace manager Ian Holloway, who has a close relationship with Ferguson, believes United’s deal to be the best on offer.

And it could finally be rubber-stamped in the next few days.
