England winger Wilfried Zaha will join Manchester United from Crystal Palace in July.

Zaha, who made his Three Lions debut against Sweden in November, will stay at Palace for the remainder of the season.

Zaha said of his move: “I am delighted to be joining Manchester United and ending the recent speculation.

“I would like to thank the owners at Palace for making the move possible, however my focus for the next five months will be solely at Crystal Palace.

“I have been at Palace for more than ten years, I will always love the club and I want to help get them back to the Premier League, particularly for the fans who have always been so good to me.”

Meanwhile, United boss Sir Alex Ferguson said: "As we like to do, we sign young players with potential.

"We can also develop players well here. That’s proved to be the case many times.

"Hopefully the boy will enjoy it coming here when he eventually does join us in the summer.”
