CRYSTAL Palace legend Geoff Thomas believes Wilfried Zaha would jump at the chance to return to Selhurst Park to feel "loved" again.
The winger looks surplus to requirements at Manchester United again ahead of the new season and has been heavily linked coming back to SE25.
According to numerous reports, Zaha is in London negotiating a return to the Eagles.
A source close to the player has also refused to rule out a move back to south London when questioned by the Advertiser.
And Thomas thinks it would be a positive for Zaha to make a name for himself again with the Eagles.
"The thing is about Wilfried is that he's probably desperate to prove himself," he told the Advertiser.
"Manchester United have not used him as much in pre-season.
"He would probably jump at it, to come back to somewhere he feels like he's loved.
"Every player wants that."
