Newcastle are at the front of a long queue for Manchester United youngster Wilfried Zaha’s signature, according to reports from Goal.

The England international arrived at Old Trafford over the summer from Crystal Palace, but is facing an uphill battle to become a first-team regular under David Moyes.

The Scot is yet to be convinced by the man signed by his predecessor, Sir Alex Ferguson, and has used him extremely sparingly so far.

Despite Zaha’s limited role, United rebuffed Palace’s attempts to sign the winger on loan for the season.

But, the 20-year-old is believed to be keen to leave on a temporary deal to gain regular action to give himself an outside chance of a spot in England’s squad for the 2014 World Cup.

Interest is high, with the likes of Swansea, West Brom Stoke and Palace all keen, but Newcastle are thought to be Zaha’s favoured suitors.

The deal that took the wide-man to United from the Eagles could rise to around £17m, displaying the level of confidence the Premier League champions have in his potential.

Despite being born in the Ivory Coast, Zaha has opted to pursue his international career with England – winning two caps so far.

Would a loan move to Newcastle suit everybody involved?
