Manchester United have been urged to send winger Wilfried Zaha out on loan, by the scout who discovered him.
.
Zaha is yet to play a minute of Premier League football for the champions since his £15m move from Crystal Palace.
.
Dave Webb discovered Zaha playing parks football in south London at the age of 13 while working as a scout for Palace.
.
"He would benefit from playing more competitive football and a loan move would help with his development," Webb told BBC Sport.
.
Zaha's only competitive football for United came in the Community Shield victory over Wigan but he has since been frustrated in his attempts to break into the first team.
.
Webb, who now works as head of player recruitment at AFC Bournemouth, believes 20-year- old Zaha will not let the lack of playing time affect him and has backed him to be a success at Old Trafford.
.
However, in the short term he feels a loan move would be best for the England winger, who has won two international caps.
.
"He won't let it affect him too much," added Webb, who talks about the moment he first discovered Zaha in this week's Life of a Scout feature.
.
"He is realistic and knows he is at a big club and has to compete and fight for his place. It's a lot different club to Crystal Palace. He has a good work ethic and will continue working hard in training.
That is just the basic truth coming from Webb. Since Moyes is nt willing to start him anytime soon its better he tries somewhere else
