# Wilfried Zaha: I would be ready for United move now

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](https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/698416/Wilfried-Zaha-Old-Trafford-Man-Utd-news-gossip?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+daily-star-football+%28Daily+Star+%3A%3A+Football+Feed%29) 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.
