Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha says he would be ready now for a move to Manchester United and that he wasn’t mature enough before, the Daily Star reports.
Zaha completed a move to United from Palace back in 2013 but failed to impress, despite costing the Red Devils £15million.
In his two years at Old Trafford the forward secured just four first-team appearances before sealing a move back to the Eagles.
Zaha has told Sky Sports that he wasn’t ready for the move before and that he is a lot maturer now.
Me going to a big club when I was like 19 or 20, I didn’t know what to expect, how to behave, whatever.
I was just a youngster who wanted to do tricks, I didn’t even care about end product really. Now I take things a lot more seriously – the gym aspect, recovery after games, my decision-making.
I’ve learnt a lot in terms of my all-round game. I’m totally different now. I’m definitely more mature and more strong-minded.
I had to be mentally strong after what I went through at Manchester United.
In 141 games for Palace Zaha has found the back of the net on 23 occassions since his move back to Selhurst Park in 2015.
