Zaha starstruck at United switch

Date published: 23 July 2013


Manchester United new–boy Wilfried Zaha has admitted he is still starstruck to be sharing a dressing room with so many Premier League big names.

Zaha joined United in January but the terms required him to stay at Crystal Palace for the remainder of the season.

The decision paid rich dividends, given the 20 year old guided Palace back into the top flight.

Now the work has begun for Zaha, and the England under–21 star admits it is taking a little adjusting to.

“I’m still a bit starstruck, if I’m honest,” Zaha said. “In the changing room I’m sitting between Ryan Giggs and Danny Welbeck, famous people I watch all the time on TV.

“I sit there and think oh my God, I’m actually in the changing room with these guys. It’s a dream to be able to play with them.

“I worked hard at Palace to get the move I wanted and I just want to prove to people that I deserve to be here.”
