Manchester United have reportedly joined the race to sign Crystal Palace's Wilfried Zaha.

Tottenham Hotspur are thought to be the favourites to land the highly-rated youngster, but Sir Alex Ferguson will attempt to beat the London outfit to his signature, The Daily Mail reports.

Zaha has also attracted attention from Liverpool and Manchester City in the past, and Arsenal chief scout Steve Rowley watched the player against Leicester last weekend.

Palace rate Zaha at around £11m, but Spurs are tipped to offer £8m for his services and loan him back to Palace until the end of the season as part of the deal.
