According to the BBC, the 20-year-old forward is due to have a medical with Manchester United during the next 48 hours ahead of sealing his switch to Old Trafford.
Manchester United are thought to be paying a fee of £15M for the Ivory Coast-born talent, who will pen a five-and-a-half-year contract with Sir Alex Ferguson’s men.
Zaha will instantly be loaned back to Crystal Palace to finish the season at Selhurst Park however.
