Wilfried Zaha: Playing at Manchester United was “hell”

Wilfried Zaha became a Manchester United player back in 2013 and he admits that it was “hell” playing for them and that he was “depressed? during his time in Manchester.

Zaha ended up going on loan to Cardiff City and Crystal Palace, but was then sold back to the Eagles in 2015.

Zaha says that living by himself in Manchester at the young age of 19 was very difficult.

“I was dealing with this at 19. Living in Manchester by myself, nowhere near anyone else, because the club had a hold over where I lived,” he told Shortlist.
