Top 5: Players to watch out for in the 2016 FA Cup Final (Crystal Palace vs Manchester United)

2. Wilfried Zaha (Crystal Palace)

The Palace forward will be determined to show his former employers what they are missing out on after failing to make the breakthrough at Old Trafford.

The 23-year-old, who has earned two international caps for England, sealed a move to the 13-time Premier League champions back in 2013 in a deal worth up to £15m after firing the Eagles to promotion to the Premier League in the Championship play-offs.

Zaha, who featured just four times for United’s first-team before securing a permanent move back to Selhurst Park only last year, has scored five goals and provided seven assists in all competitions for Pardew’s outfit so far this season.

The Ivory Coast-born star has featured for the full 90 minutes in all of the Eagles’ FA Cup fixtures this term, scoring decisive goals in the third and fourth round victories over Southampton and Stoke City respectively.
