£7M WILFRIED ZAHA TO MAN U IN 48 HOURS

MANCHESTER UNITED hope to announce the signing of in-demand Crystal Palace star Wilfried Zaha in the next 48 hours.

The England winger (left) could even be at United’s Carrington training HQ today to discuss terms and possibly complete a medical.


Talks have continued between the clubs in the last few days after the Daily Star Sunday revealed last week that United

were anxious to clinch the signing and fight off interest from Arsenal.


Sir Alex Ferguson hopes to agree an initial fee of £7million deal – with the move eventually being worth between £10m and £12m to Palace with add-ons. There is also the possibility of Zaha, 20, being loaned back to the Selhurst Park club for the rest of this season.


Eagles boss Ian Holloway is not keen to lose his star man at this stage of his side’s bid for promotion.


Meanwhile, injury-ravaged Phil Jones has given United a boost by finally declaring: I’m fit and raring to go. The young ace, 20, has endured a torrid season just when he hoped to cement a starting slot with the Red Devils.


He said: “It has been so frustrating to be out injured. I feel fit and strong and hope I can get a good run in the side now.


“It’s great to come back into a team that’s playing so well. It’s a nice feeling to be top of the league.”
