Crystal Palace ace Wilfried Zaha has spoken of his struggles at Manchester United.

The Ivory Coast superstar also rues not playing for the legendary manager who signed him – as Alex Ferguson stepped down at the end of the 2012-13 season.

The frontman, 28, who rejoined Crystal Palace in 2015, told The Greatest Game with Jamie Carragher podcast: “I lost myself…

"I definitely feel like I should have got more opportunities. I feel like the only way you're going to learn and grow in confidence is by playing. I don't think I was given a fair chance.

“If I was to go in there now… I'd put across to everyone, 'this is how I play, I'm going to take on players, I may lose the ball but I will get an opportunity and I will score or I will assist someone'.

“Just showing everyone I am me and they've got to accept it. That's the only thing I regret, not showing me real self."
