So, is Zaha having a medical? United outcast arrives at hospital with Cardiff closing in on loan deal for winger



Wilfried Zaha has been pictured arriving at hospital as Cardiff City renewed hope of completing a loan move for the Manchester United outcast this week.

Sources close to the deal have told Sportsmail that a move might even be done as soon as Thursday, with David Moyes fast losing patience with the winger, arrived at Bridgewater Hospital in Manchester for a scan on his toe.



The United manager was initially reluctant to let the 21-year-old leave while Ashley Young and Nani were injured, but Young’s return and Moyes’s continued issues with Zaha’s behaviour have accelerated the process.

Out in the cold: Zaha has barely featured for United this season and has spent a lot of time on the bench

Moyes was extremely unhappy that Zaha was 45 minutes late meeting up with the Under 21 squad on Monday for a reserve fixture against Middlesbrough in Salford.

The United manager decided that Zaha should be put on the bench, further increasing tensions with the former Crystal Palace star, who had earlier shown his annoyance at being left out of the squad for Sunday’s game at Chelsea.

Sportsmail first revealed Cardiff’s interest in Zaha and November and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has pushed hard to land him in this window.

United’s early reluctance has subsided now and a move is close for the £15million winger, who would become Solskjaer’s third signing of the window.

Under the terms of the loan, it is highly unlikely that Zaha would be allowed to play for Cardiff against United in the Premier League next Tuesday.

Meanwhile, Cardiff defender John Brayford is joining Sheffield United on loan.
