United And Liverpool Warned Off Zaha

Manchester United and Liverpool have made enquiries about Crystal Palace star Wilfried Zaha, but have been told the teenager is not for sale.

Eagles boss Dougie Freedman has put together an exciting young squad, with 19-year-old forward Zaha the cream of the crop.

Palace moved to offset a potential January exit by tying Zaha to a long-term contract, but that has not stopped the speculation.

Newcastle have been credited with an interest, but recent speculation has suggested the Red Devils and Liverpool are also tracking the forward. This has been confirmed by Freedman, but he stressed that the enquiries were politely batted away.

"I've had chit-chats with Kenny Dalglish and Alex Ferguson, but he is not going anywhere," Freedman said of Zaha.
