CRYSTAL Palace may to try to loan back winger Wilfried Zaha from Manchester United next season after securing promotion to the English Premier League.
The south Londoners beat Watford 1-0 in the Championship playoff final on Monday. The 20-year-old Zaha won the spot kick that sealed victory in what was meant to be his final Palace game before joining champion United.
"They might want him to get experience in the Premier League playing for us rather than maybe not playing for them. I don't know, of course," Palace co-chairman Martin Long said yesterday. "We probably will ask."
New United boss David Moyes, who will inherit a stellar squad from the retired Alex Ferguson when he takes charge next season, must weigh up whether Zaha will get enough game time in competition with the likes of Ashley Young and Antonio Valencia.
Palace manager Ian Holloway, who spent a season in the top flight with Blackpool in 2010/11, has not given up hope of keeping his best player despite Zaha's 15 million pound (US$22.7 million) transfer. "I think he (Moyes) would be silly to give him back. Now we're up it might be realistic, but who knows?" Holloway told reporters after Kevin Phillips' extra-time winner, which could earn Palace as much as 120 million pounds in top-flight income.
