WILFRIED ZAHA left the media in hysterics as he revealed whether he was bothered by his failed Manchester United experience.<\/strong><\/p>\n The 30-year-old left Crystal Palace this summer to join Galatasaray on a free transfer after the expiration of his contract.<\/p>\n And he will be hoping for better luck than his first exit from the Eagles a decade ago.<\/p>\n Zaha was Sir Alex Ferguson\u2019s last-ever signing for United before his retirement in the summer of 2023.<\/p>\n However, the Ivory Coast international was only given 167 minutes of playing action under his replacement David Moyes in a miserable two-and-a-half years at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n After loan spells with Cardiff City and Palace, he eventually transferred back to his boyhood Eagles after making only two Premier League appearances for the Red Devils.<\/p>\n Zaha has returned to the Theatre of Dreams since, memorably scoring twice for Palace in a 3-1 win back in 2020.<\/p>\n And now he is hoping to inflict more misery on out-of-form United tonight when they face Galatasaray in the Champions League group stages.<\/p>\n Following his team\u2019s late arrival in Manchester yesterday, he sat down to face the media ahead of his latest comeback.<\/p>\n And he had reporters in stitches with his response about whether his previous struggles at United still affected him.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n With a huge grin on his face, Zaha said: \u201cI\u2019ll be honest, when you look at my face do you think I am bothered at all? No.\u201d<\/p>\n That was met by a huge roar of laughter from those in attendance, but the attacker did then go on to discuss his failed United stint a little more seriously.<\/p>\n He continued: \u201cRealistically I think I went through a phase where you either build from it or you die out from it. And me personally, I was never going to die out from it. It built my character.<\/p>\n \u201cI was determined to not let my career die out because I went somewhere and it didn\u2019t work out.<\/p>\n \u201cI was just determined to reach where I wanted to reach and I am here today.\u201d<\/p>\n Zaha will be desperate for silverware with reigning Turkish title holders Galatasaray having only won one medal so far in his career – a Community Shield while at United.<\/p>\n And he goes into tonight\u2019s showdown right bang in form after scoring his first goal for his new club at the weekend in the 2-1 win over Ankaragucu.<\/p>\n He added: \u201cObviously Manchester United\u2019s a team that I was at before, I played for them before a long, long time ago.<\/p>\n \u201cTen years forward, I\u2019m 30 years old. I feel like I\u2019ve matured in my game, I am at a big club, Galatasaray.\u201d<\/p>\n MAN UTD NEWS LIVE: Stay up to date with all of the latest transfer and takeover news from Old Trafford<\/strong><\/p>\n
