Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says Zaha can be the next Cristiano Ronaldo

























Wilfried Zaha arrived to a standing ovation& left the pitch hailed as the next ­Cristiano

Ronaldo.



The Manchester United winger kicked off his loan spell at Cardiff with a blistering debut.

He inspired a second-half comeback that hauled the ­Bluebirds off the bottom of the Premier League.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer reckons that could prove a glimmer of light for United boss David Moyes in the long-run.


But for now, Wilfried Zaha – given a hero’s welcome off the bench by Cardiff fans – can help lift the gloom at the troubled club.

And the Cardiff boss has tipped the 21-year-old to ­eventually fill the void left by Ronaldo at United.

Solskjaer said: “He is one of the best I have seen with the ball.

“He has quick feet and is brave like Cristiano Ronaldo and wants to go forward.

“But he has got to make a ­decision about how good does he want to be and how much does he love this game. He can grow up to become a proper player like Ronaldo if he wants.

“I have never seen anyone work as hard as Ronaldo. Before training, after training, he was an exceptionally dedicated man and proved to everyone what ­dedication gets you.

“I am not afraid of using Sir Alex Ferguson or Cristiano as an example when I have to because to get the best out of your talent you need to be dedicated.

“It’s a desire and attitude from within. It’s what you’ve got in your heart and Cristiano’s always had it.”

Zaha has been unable to live up to the £15million United paid 12-months-ago but has now found a manager who knows how to succeed at Old Trafford.

For now, his display helped deliver a priceless win for Cardiff in their fight for survival.

Solskjaer said: “Everyone needs to be loved. It’s like with your kids. You love them but you also have to tell them straight. It’s the same with players.

“He came on and made an impact, he lifted everyone and just wants to play football.

“That’s something he will get loads of here. I’m really looking forward to working with him.”
