WILFRIED Zaha looks almost certain to join Cardiff City on loan from Manchester United.
The two clubs have reached agreement on the deal, with Zaha reportedly undergoing a medical in the Welsh capital today (Thursday).
This appears to end any chance of Zaha making a fairytale return to Selhurst Park in this campaign.
Boss Tony Pulis and chairman Steve Parish had both admitted an interest in bringing the winger back to Palace, but United manager David Moyes told Pulis he wasn't keen on Zaha coming back to London.
He joins Cardiff with the Welsh side currently rock bottom of the Premier League.
Since his £15m move to Old Trafford, Zaha has been limited to cameo appearances from the bench, mostly in cup competitions - despite United's struggles this campaign.
He has yet to start a league game for United.
