Zaha can be like Ronaldo'



Manchester United winger Wilfried Zaha could be as good as Cristiano Ronaldo, according to former Crystal Palace striker Mark Bright. The 20-year-old picked up his first winner's
medal with the Red Devils on his competitive
debut as they saw off Wigan to claim a 2-0 victory in the Community Shield last Sunday .
And, speaking exclusively to Goal, Bright – who spent six years with Palace – says the former
Eagles winger can provide the sort of excitement
fans at Old Trafford were used to seeing with
Ronaldo.
"I've seen a lot of Zaha because of my association
with Palace, having done some coaching in their academy and I think he could be like Cristiano
Ronaldo," he said.
"He has the ability to do everything - he's quick,
strong and determined. He's Sir Alex Ferguson's
last signing, a great gift to David Moyes."
The Cote d'Ivoire-born England international was a vital ingredient in seeing Palace return to the
Premier League last term, earning the decisive
penalty which was converted by Kevin Phillips in
the Championship playoff final at Wembley.
However, Bright has called on the starlet to build
on last season's goal tally of eight in the coming campaign as he fully expects him to get plenty of
playing time for the English champions.
"He needs to add more goals to his game but he
has the ability to go past defenders like no-one
[in England] since Steve McManaman.
"He's going to be a great asset to Manchester United and I think he'll play a lot more this season
than most people think."
