Wilfried Zaha: Alex Ferguson Never Spoke to Crystal Palace Star During His Days at Manchester United

• Former Manchester United boss Alex Ferguson has been accused of not speaking to Wilfried Zaha despite signing him for the club in 2013
• Ferguson sign Zaha in January 2013 but left the club at the end of that season to David Moyes
• Zaha's former coach at Crustal Palace believes that more should have been done to help Zaha succeed at a top club

Former Crystal Palace manager Neil Warnock has revealed some shocking details about the relationship between Sir Alex Ferguson and Wilfried Zaha.

Zaha played under Ferguson for a very short time, but as Warnock explains, the head coach never spoke to the attacker.

The winger was signed by Manchester United in January 2013 but returned to Palace on loan for the rest of the season. He then joined The Red Devils that summer but only made four appearances for the club.

Warnock resigned Zaha for Palace 18 months after leaving. Talking to Talk Sports, Warnock revealed how his conversation with Zaha panned out.

I said to him, ‘Did you get on alright with Sir Alex?’ He said, ‘He never spoke to me once.'

He was only a young lad who went there and didn’t get much help.

Zaha went on to establish himself at Selhurst Park, where he has become a hero for the Eagles. The Ivory Coast star has made over 400 appearances for the side. His time at Palace hasn't been without controversy, though, as he came close to forcing a move out of the club in 2019.

He has started the new season on an impressive note under Patrick Viera by bagging three goals so far.
