Newcastle United are thought to be leading the race to sign Manchester United winger Wilfried Zaha.

According to The Sunday People, the Magpies want to add the out-of-favour player to their ranks this summer, and are ready to table a £7m offer for the 21-year-old.

Zaha has struggled to hold down a regular place in United’s first-team ever since arriving at Old Trafford in a deal worth up to £15m from Crystal Palace in 2013.

And despite trying his best to impress new Red Devils manager Louis van Gaal recently, it is believed that United will part with Zaha if they receive a suitable offer for the player’s services.




Zaha’s former club Palace are also thought to be weighing up re-signing their former player while Championship outfit Nottingham Forest are keen on taking the winger – who worked with manager Stuart Pearce at England under-21 level – on loan for next season.
