Crystal Palace winger, Wilfried Zaha has come out to say that rumors saying he dated David Moyes’ daughter were false.
Zaha recently revealed that up till now, people still think that he had a thing with her, even if nothing of the sort happened.
According to him, the reports were ridiculous at the time and it even made things akward between him and his manager at a crucial point in his career.
He added that his experience at Mufc was underwhelming because he was not given the opportunity he needed to shine.
His words, “No one at the club at all told me anything, I didn’t know what to do whatsoever,”
I remember tweeting something about it saying ‘silly rumours’ because it was getting too much, so I had to say something myself and then I remember the club media messaging me saying ‘you shouldn’t have done that, you shouldn’t have done this’ and I’m thinking ‘you haven’t helped me.’
“I’m here by myself, struggling because people are telling me I’ve slept with the manager’s daughter and that’s why you’re not playing me.
“The funny thing is, it’s carried on for so long I felt like, is the manager not going to come and have a word with me over this?
“That’s how I felt and I’m thinking this is ridiculous man. Up to this day, I still get people that think that’s true and I’ve never even met his daughter.”
On Mufc, “It was stressful. I’m 19, I’m living in Manchester and all of a sudden we come back from a tour and I’m not playing for no reason so obviously [people] are going to make up rumours,”
“I’m in Manchester where I’m by myself, and I’m not playing on top of that, so it’s stressful enough to have a rumour.
People came out with it, I see it trending on Twitter, people came out with how can he play so well on tour then just be dashed out like that with nothing, no one telling us anything – he must have slept with the manager’s daughter.
“And that started going and I’m 19, and my Twitter is blowing up. I’ve never had it before and my Twitter is blowing up and there’s no one for me to speak to.”
