Cardiff City loanee Wilfried Zaha has denied aiming a subtle dig at Manchester United manager David Moyes on Instagram.

Zaha joined Cardiff on loan from United during the January transfer window after struggling to feature regularly under Moyes this season.

The 21-year-old winger uploaded a photo of himself talking to Cardiff boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer with a caption that read: "Nothing like someone who believes in you."

However, after accusations that he had intended the comment as a disguised jibe at Moyes, Zaha took to Twitter to defend himself.

"My last Instagram picture was not intended as a dig or indirect at my manager, I have nothing but respect," Zaha wrote on the social networking site.

"My picture actually meant ole solskjaer has a lot faith for me to do something for cardiff's current position."

Zaha made just four appearances for United this season, having joined them from Crystal Palace for a fee that could reportedly rise to £15m.
