What a bell end

He seems as unbalanced in common sense as he was unbalanced every time he dived (sorry was tripped up)

Not good enough - nothing to do with allegations regarding somebody close to MUFC.
Either that, or similar allegations concerning Milton Keynes Dons....................in the unfinished part of the Waste Tip/Denbigh Stadium.
Must have ben uncomfortable in that incomplete upper tier.

Zaha's at an age where his career could go one of 2 ways. At 21, if he doesn't put the work in, he could very easily find himself on a slippery slope and end up playing at a lower level, like that Palace player who went to Spurs a few years ago when he was only 16-17 years old, hardly played for them and was last seen playing for Swindon.

It could be said, however, that Zaha's lack of focus and off-field activities might be as a result of him being frustrated at not getting any opportunities to play first team football give or take the odd League Cup tie. He's not at a club though where he will be selected unless he knuckles down. He was a big fish in a small pond at Palace, but he is now a small piece of plankton in an ocean at Old Trafford and he is not being managed by the manager who sanctioned his purchase, but by a manager with more pragmatic leanings who sees Zaha as more of a luxury player.

The raw materials are there as he proved in the play-off semis and final that he is capable of being a match-winner in big matches. What you would question, however, is where had his contribution been when Palace's form dropped in the preceding 3 months. How many goals did he score last season? 8-9? He needs to score with more regularity to make an impact in the top echelons of the game. I just think he now has a manager who doesn't rate him and sees him as a liability and he has fallen down the pecking order with the emergence of Januzaj. He probably needs to go out on loan to give him some focus and purpose, otherwise there is a danger his career could head in an austral direction quite sharply.

Moyes doesn't rate Zaha, and can't understand why Ferguson signed him, knowing that he was retiring at the end of last season. It's the equivalent of buying a house from someone and them crimping one out in the toilet cistern for you as a housewarming present.

He was celebrating his 21st birthday, he is allowed - like anyone celebrating their 21st - to go out partying.

The article is a story about nothing.

Agreed. The story seems to be based on him going out for 1 night, his 21st birthday! The article says it was hours before United's game against Arsenal, I assume as he was in Croydon he had already been told he wasn't part of the squad. The article doesn't even say that he was drinking. To compare him to Best is ridiculous.
