Manchester United is willing to spend millions to achieve its ideal roster of players. According to reports, the Red Devils are prepared to shell out £70 million to re-sign Wilfried Zaha from Crystal Palace. United is also reportedly eyeing to re-sign former striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Several sources recently claim that Manchester United is willing to re-sign Wilfried Zaha. The English forward was the final signing of Sir Alex Fergusson in 2013 but was not able to play under the Scot as what was previously agreed. He later fell out of favor with Manchester United's David Moyes and only made four appearances for the Red Devils.
He later returned to Crystal Palace on loan, which re-signed him for £6m with add-ons. Wilfried Zaha has now made a name for himself at Crystal Palace as one of the best attackers in the Premier League. Manchester United is reportedly leading the race to sign Zaha at the end of the season, reports The Sun.
Manchester United is reportedly willing to meet Crystal Palace's asking price just to re-sign Zaha. Reports have it that United coach's Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is desperate to improve the team's attacking options, and Wilfried Zaha would be a versatile choice for the Red Devils. Zaha is known to play on the flanks as well as in the central role.
Earlier, it was reported that Arsenal was also eyeing Zaha last summer but failed to meet the valuation of the Crystal Palace for the English forward. Zaha was reportedly willing to move, but the Gunners refused even to get close to the Palace's asking price. The English forward is currently under contract with Crystal palace until 2023.
He has 26 goals in his last 115 matches.... that’s going all the way back to the beginning of the 2016/17 season. If he gets 2 more yellow cards before his next goal he will literally have been penalized more than he’s scored in that same time frame.

Aside from Wilfried Zaha, another report claims that Manchester United is also eyeing to re-sign another former United player Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The 38 years old footballer left Old Trafford for MLS side Galaxy last year after making 29 goals during his two-season stint with the top-flight giants. Daily Mail recently reports that Manchester United might be tempted to re-sign Ibrahimovic in its distressed search for striking support.

Following the departure of Alexis Sanchez and Romelu Lukaku to Inter Milan, Zlatan Ibrahimovic seems to have become a priority for Manchester United. The former Barcelona player will be a free agent in January 2020. He has been linked to Bologna and AC Milan recently.
