Man Utd urged to re-sign Sir Alex Ferguson's 'player of potential' 10 years later

Manchester United have been encouraged to re-sign Wilfried Zaha a decade on from when he first signed for the Red Devils under the reign of club icon Sir Alex Ferguson.

The Ivorian international originally made his way up the ranks at Crystal Palace, emerging as one of the most exciting talents plying their trade in English football before Ferguson opted to make Zaha his final signing as United boss. The wide-forward never actually played under the Scot, remaining at Palace for the final few months of Ferguson's time in charge before joining at the end of that season.

Zaha's brief spell as a United player came while David Moyes was at the helm, but the pair failed to see eye to eye and the winger made just four appearances under Moyes before joining Cardiff City on loan.
