All the news, views and transfer updates across Old Trafford

Alan Pardew is winning the race to take Wilfried Zaha on loan to Newcastle from Manchester United – reports Dailystar.

Moved from Crystal Palace for £15million this January, Zaha remained at Palace (on a loan deal) and helped his side win promotion to the Premier League. Zaha was Sir Alex Ferguson’s very last signature before retiring and was touted to be the next best thing on the flanks.

But the England International has found it hard to win first team chances resulting in an abrupt end to his high flying career start. Moyes has just used the winger once in the community shield this season and a loan move will be good for both the parties here. Stoke City, Southampton, Fulham and Bolton are all reportedly interested in landing the player along with Newcastle who are alleged to present Zaha with first team opportunities.

The emergence of Januzaj and the whole Shinji Kagawa’s saga has definitely stalled Zaha’s first team chances and moving out might sound just about right for the youngster.

There are also reports suggesting that Zaha’s former boss Dougie Freedman who is now at Bolton wants to help the youngster.

West Ham shell out £25,000 to Man United every time Ravel Morrison plays

Morrison moved to West Ham for just £650,000 during the January window of 2012. Although he was signed at the age of 8 by United’s academy the youngster had his troubles with a couple of criminal offences which affected his United career.

West Ham agreed the deal to sign him, but it turned out to be a complicated one for the Hammers who are now paying £25,000 for the Red Devils each time Morrison makes a first team appearance for West Ham.

An amount of £200,000 has been paid to United for the 8 first team appearances Morrison made this season. There are reports suggesting that Sam Allardyce is looking to extend the midfielder’s current contract which runs out in another 18 months.
