Why is that. He is under 21 and therefore is not part of Man U 25 named squad. Can he not join any Prem team on loan before January and not be required to be part of the clubs named 25?

No loans allowed for Premier League clubs until Jan 1st.
The current loan window does not allow Premier League teams to get players in.

OK, so a Championship side until January if he wants first team football.

How old are you? And what is an appropriate age to stop posting hypothetical situations for the purpose of discussion on an internet message board?

Yeah others have already covered this but he cannot move to a Premier club until the window reopens as they cannot sign players on loan outside of the window. It's nothing to do with the 25 man squad or his age, only exception to this is certain free agents, which is why West Ham could sign Carlton Cole a few days ago.
If he doesn't want to drop a level for a few months he must be happy to pick up his wages and get the occasional place on the Man Utd bench.

Going back to Palace on loan could effectively end his career in the highest league because basically they are considered a Championship outfit who fluked promotion and not improved their side enough by everyone else in the Premier League.

No. I don't care that he is a good signing or would improve our side. He is tainted and I hate the bloke! No just no!!!

The guy doing the updates on 5 Live said he never got into the game and would probably get shipped out on loan.

There should be a documentary made about his move up north and it should be called...
The Men Who Robbed United.
...the incredible story of how 4 Cockney wideboys conned an American family out of 15 million pounds for a half decent Championship winger.

Bolton is the obvious loan destination I guess, if it happens before January.

He was one of the best players in the Championship last year, prob only 2nd to Ince. To say otherwise is pretty stupid and bitter. I'd have him on loan in a heartbeat. I suopose you want us to keep Conway instead?

Zaha to Everton
Sorry to bounce this thread but can anybody answer this please?
Zaha looks likely to be off loaded to Everton as part of a deal Moyes wants to get Baines in. If he leaves as a sort of player plus cash deal do Palace get any "sell on" for him?

I doubt it.
Sell-on clauses are usually the sort of thing you include when you're selling to a medium sized club from which you eventually expect the player to go on to higher things.
Regardless of United's current position, there aren't many bigger clubs in this country, and they paid Palace £12 million (well spent so far) for him, which suggests no sell on clause to me (the other reason for having one is because the buying club want to keep the initial outlay down, which United clearly didn't).
In short, no, they'll get nothing.

I know its fun having a pop at Mr Zaha because he is a bit of a dick and was at our friends down the road. Plus he cost twice what he should have.
Zaha is however very definately a premier league player who with games and the right attitude could make an England player.
I have no doubt about that, he ripped a hole in pretty much every championship side last season.
The only mistake he has made is going to Utd where its very difficult to get a regular game.
For young players to progress they have to play, much like JFC, Ince and March they need game time. And generally progress at a rapid rate.

Did he? His goals/assist count was extremely low for someone supposedly as talented as him. Great for tricks and flicks, not so great if you want regular end product. And yes I realise he scored twice at the Amex, but that wasn't a sign of consistent form.

Not a pop at Zaha at all Marshy, in fact I feel for him really.
Like him or not Zaha has the potential to go a long way in Football and I think that Moyes is going to knock the boys confidence so low he will take years to recover from it.
And to be fair, even if Palace don't get a further penny for him it was still one of the biggest rip offs I've ever seen.

I'd be very surprised if United sold Zaha to Everton, however much they want to get Baines. I think although Zaha hasn't featured much for United yet, he will get his chance eventually. The emergence of Januzaj has knocked him down the pecking order, but I think it's more likely Ashley Young, Nani and possibly Kagawa will get sold on and Januzaj could well end up playing more centrally in due course, which would give Zaha opportunity to play wide left.
