Crystal Palace manager believes the Reds don't have the time to "educate" young players, and expects the winger to shine at Selhurst Park.

Crystal Palace boss Neil Warnock has expressed his belief that Manchester Unitedwere "too big" to oversee Wilfried Zaha's development.

The 21-year-old failed to make an impact in his first season at Old Trafford and, after spending the back half of last season on loan at Cardiff, has returned to Palace on 12-month temporary deal.

Zaha has struggled to kick on since leaving Selhurst Park, but Warnock believes the winger will flourish back at the club where his career began.

"Man United was probably a bit too big really," he said.

"They haven't got time to educate players as much as a club like Palace have.

"We bring through players like Wilfried all the time and they need educating.

"To take him as quickly as they did and with the money involved, it was very difficult I think."

Warnock also refuted suggestions that Zaha's attitude was the reason for his inability to make a mark at United.

"His attitude has been questioned but I know Wilfried, it's not his attitude, it's guidance he needs really," Warnock said.

"He's a bit like Victor Moses (whom Warnock managed during his first spell as Palace manager).

"Victor used to play for himself at times. I once told him he could play for his country and make a fabulous living or he could be playing for Bromley in a couple of years.

"Then we went to Cardiff one night, it was chucking it down with rain and for some reason something clicked - I've never seen him work as hard in his life.

"He tackled back and was just amazing - that's why I'm disappointed he hasn't got a regular place somewhere as well."
