5 replacements for Alexis Sanchez at Manchester United

#5 Wilfried Zaha (Crystal Palace)

Should Wilfried Zaha himself read his name on this, he definitely won’t be visiting what you call a lane of happy memories.

The 25-year-old endured a torrid spell at Manchester United from 2013 to 2015, making only 4 first team appearances for the club and being loaned out thrice. However, those days are past and the Englishman has shown what United have let slip through their fingers, joining Crystal Palace and becoming a threat to reckon in the Premier League.

Zaha has been blessed with a terrific pace that comes in handy during swift counter-attacks. Dribbling comes naturally to him, knowing that he boasts an excellent speed. He is also well-versed at the art of providing defence-splitting through balls for his fellow attackers to score goals.

Zaha can function as a center forward but predominantly operates as a winger on either of the flanks. In 9 goals for Crystal Palace this season, he has already bagged 3 goals and an assist.

The Englishman takes 2.1 shots on target per game. He has a fine vision and notches 1.1 key passes per game. The fact that he gets fouled 3.3 on an average tells how he is a threat to reckon for the opposition.

Wilfried Zaha would come in much cheaper than the rest of the lot on this list. However, convincing him to join a club where he suffered so much will be a challenge United must overcome before they can actually poach him.
