Wilfried Zaha targets victory over Manchester United at Wembley

Wilfried Zaha targets victory over Man United

Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha has insisted that he will take next month's FA Cup final meeting with former club Manchester United in his stride.

The 23-year-old spent just two years at Old Trafford before being allowed to rejoin the Eagles in 2015, where he has since enjoyed a return to his form of old.

Zaha now has a cup final to look forward to after helping Palace overcome Watford in Sunday evening's last-four tie, coming 24 hours on from the Red Devils' own victory over Everton.

Speaking to BBC Sport post-match, the Englishman said: "I'm buzzing. We said before that we can't get this far and not make it - that was the plan to get there and we're happy.

"It was hard. We had some of our main players out. I just wanted to give my all. Manchester United - personally it's just another game for me. I know it's an FA Cup final but what I mean is Manchester United are just another team now for me. I just want to win it for Palace."

Palace face Newcastle United, Stoke City and Southampton in their final three Premier League games ahead of the May 21 final.
