Wilfried Zaha, a winger for Crystal Palace, is said to be in talks with Manchester United, despite Al Nassr, the agent for Cristiano Ronaldo. As his contract runs out at the end of the season, the Ivorian is on his way out of Selhurst Park.
If Zaha, 30, does not agree to a new contract with Palace, he will become a free agent in the summer. He has turned down the Eagles’ attempts to extend his contract. London World says that Manchester United and Zaha’s representatives have been in touch about a possible move to Old Trafford.
The attacker was a member of the Red Devils from 2013 to 2015, but he failed to make an impression.
Erik ten Hag wants to strengthen his team, which hasn’t won a trophy in six years. In the Carabao Cup final, Manchester United defeated Newcastle United 2-0.
The possibility of playing for a team in the UEFA Champions League next season draws Zaha in. As a result of their third-place finish in the league, Ten Hag’s team appears poised to secure their spot in Europe’s elite club competition. They are not, however, the only contenders in the top four.
According to the aforementioned source, Tottenham Hotspur is growing more optimistic about signing Zaha this summer. With one game remaining, Antonio Conte’s team is fourth in the league, four points ahead of fifth-placed Newcastle.
Zaha could leave Europe entirely and join Al Nassr, which is led by Cristiano Ronaldo. The Ivorian is said to be considering offers from three Saudi Pro League teams, one of which is Rudi Garcia’s team. The possibility of joining the former Manchester United attacker at Mrsool Park draws him in.
Ronaldo has scored eight goals in just seven games in his first season at Al Nassr. In addition, he earns a respectable £173 million annually in the Middle East.
Ten Hag’s friend claims he had to avoid landmines set by Cristiano Ronaldo at Manchester United :
By mutual consent, Cristiano Ronaldo left Manchester United in November and moved to Al Nassr in January. Hans Kraay, a close friend of Ten Hag, has said something about how Ten Hag dealt with the Portuguese during their rocky relationship.
He stated to the Mirror, Erik did, he didn’t mind sorting it all out and walking around Cristiano Ronaldo’s landmines. It was chaos at the club for a start. There were mines laid by Cristiano Ronaldo. Ten Hag and Cristiano Ronaldo had a rocky relationship during the latter’s time at Manchester United. The legend from Portugal wanted to leave the club this summer, but he stayed at Old Trafford.
Under Ten Hag, he started 10 of 16 games, scored three goals, and assisted on two more than at any point in his career. In the 2-0 victory over Tottenham, the former Real Madrid attacker refused to make an appearance as a substitute. His manager then punished him with a one-game suspension.
Following the incident, their relationship did not improve, and Cristiano Ronaldo gave an explosive interview with TalkTV. Because he felt disrespected by the coach, he claimed that Ten Hag did not respect him.
