Dion Dublin has hailed the talent of Wilfried Zaha, but believes he needs to approach his United move with the right attitude if he is to succeed.
Zaha was the last player to be signed by Sir Alex Ferguson before he retired in May and he comes to Old Trafford with a huge weight of expectation on his shoulders after leading Crystal Palace into the Premier League after successfully best navigating through the play offs.
The 20 year old is currently on course to link up with his United team mates in July, and whilst there has been rumours that he could be sent on loan, Dublin believes that he could be better suited to remain at Old Trafford if he tackles the move with the right mindframe.
Speaking to MUTV, former United man Dublin said:
“What Zaha will have to do is find his feet.
“He can’t go in all guns blazing because you can fall flat on your face against some of the best players in the world.
“Go in, respect what you are around, listen to the people who will teach you to become a better player, take it on board and he will do amazingly.
“It is not easy to settle in. You do have to go in with the right attitude in order to be accepted and to settle in quickly.
“You do get sussed out in the game of football very quickly if you go in with a chip on your shoulder and if you are bouncing about like you are the new boy on the block.
“You will get hammered in the dressing room and rightly so, especially when you come to a football club like this.
“I don’t know Zaha personally, but I have seen him play several times and I think he is an unbelievable talent and one that needs coaching. He needs to know when to do things, where to do things, how to do it, who to listen to, what to contribute to his team, but I‘m sure the manager will do that amazingly and pull him aside.
“It is not easy to settle in but it can be made easier if you go in with the right attitude.”
I will like to see Zaha…to stay at Old trafford…… He should nt be loaned to another place…pls let him stay and do what he can
If den born ur papa well loan dis guy instead of him 2 give us more players d 1 we hav he want 2 be loani dem to where tell dat man moyes to go 4 thiago why.
Pls keep Zaha for us and forget about loanong him out. He can do it for man u. Up united
Loaning zaha shouldn’t even be considered cos his former team are in the premier league already and to a great extent you can agree with me that playing in the championship isn’t all that easy. For zaha to have made a remarkable form in the championship i see no need for loaning him out for any reason
Don’t dare try 2 loan dat Guy out cos we don’t have much reliable option on d wings.
Pls moyes should keep zaha and not think of loanin him to any club pls, we need him, thiago and baines…… United 4ever
Moyes shud 4get abt big names n go 4 young stars,I wud lyk to see Zaha n thiago playin @ oldtraford..united we stand!
David Moyes should please not to Loan Zaha out and he need to wrap up thiago,Garay,and Baines deal in time
Moye should keep zaha, and try 2 wrap up thiago deal and juan quintero, garay , Ross barkley……
We really nid zaha n thiago them garay or bale
