Moyes: Zaha still in United’s plans

Date published: 29 October 2013


DAVID Moyes insists Wilfried Zaha is still firmly in his plans at Manchester United.

Zaha, who has won 12 caps for England Under-21s and two for the senior side, has yet to make his Barclays Premier League debut for the Red Devils and has been linked with a loan move away in the January transfer window.

He could line up at home to Norwich City in the Capital One Cup tonight, though, and Moyes is keen to see him in action.

“I just don’t think we have had the right opportunity to get him on as much as would have liked,” explained Moyes.

“It’s not that Wilf has done anything wrong, it’s just that we have big competition and we have to try to make sure he gets some playing time. He is very much in my plans.”

Also seeking to play his way into the first-team picture is midfielder Darren Fletcher, who made his competitive return yesterday in an under-21 game against Fulham.

The 29-year-old Scotland international has played just 13 games since announcing he was taking an extended break from football in November 2011 after being diagnosed with ulcerative colitis.

He has since undergone several operations and been put on a strict dietary regime in a bid to correct his condition.
