Charlotte FC may be about to make another big name signing after NFL legend Chad Johnson reached out to the team following Wilfried Zaha's arrival

Wilfried Zaha was actually the last player to move to Old Trafford under Ferguson, who once subbed himself on for Manchester United. The Red Devils paid £15m to sign the winger from Crystal Palace back in January 2013 – but opted to loan him back to the Eagles to aid their promotion charge, which ended successfully.

Former Crystal Palace forward Wilfried Zaha has been acquired by Charlotte on a loan from Turkish club Galatasaray until next Jan. 17.

This, in all, appeared to have Zaha take stock and weigh the possibility of moving on. Word eventually made it the desk of Charlotte FC general manager Zoran Krneta that he wasn’t opposed to learning more about Major League Soccer. That’s when Krneta began to fall in love with the idea.

Charlotte FC have brought heaps of experience to their club after completing a deal for former Premier League star Wilfried Zaha. The 32-year-old attacker, who made a legendary name for himself at Crystal Palace, arrives at the club until January 17, 2026, with an option to extend the loan through to June 30, 2026 should it prove a success.

After struggling to break into the side under David Moyes and then Louis van Gaal, the Red Devils opted to let the Ivorian return to Selhurst Park for a sum of just £3m – having spent £15m to bring him to Old Trafford just two years earlier as Sir Alex Ferguson’s last signing.
