David Moyes has said that he will allow Wilfried Zaha to go out on loan as soon as Ashley Young recovers from a shoulder injury.
The Manchester United manager has had to weigh up his options for wide positions with Young and Nani being injured.
The Portuguese winger, who has a hamstring problem, is expected to be out for a while, but Moyes will be welcoming Young back shortly, so providing that there are no complications, he will allow Zaha to leave until the end of the season.
"I have told [Zaha] that if I can't get him the games I will put him out on loan," The Independent quotes Moyes as saying. "But he can't go out while we have Ashley Young and Nani injured."
Cardiff City, managed by former United striker Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, are said to be interested in the youngster.
Zaha was loaned back to Crystal Palace last season after completing the move to Manchester United from Selhurst Park, helping the Eagles reach the Premier League.
