David Moyes hits out over handling of Wilfried Zaha
DAVID MOYES has insisted he made the right decision to send Wilfried Zaha out on loan to Cardiff given the competition for places out wide at Manchester United.

Moyes claims that much of the criticism that has been levelled at him over his handling of Zaha has come from those without a full understanding of the situation.
He said: "At times you have to believe what the manager is seeing as well.
"There is big competition for those wide areas.
"When I came in, I had Antonio Valencia, Nani and Ashley Young. Then we had the emergence of Adnan (Januzaj). Shinji (Kagawa) can play off one of the sides.
"I have seen Wilfried training every day as well. I am privy to that."

Zaha was Sir Alex Ferguson's final signing as United boss and cost £15m from Crystal Palace in the summer, but Moyes claims he would have let the youngster leave even earlier had it not been for injuries at Old Trafford.
He added: "We might have got him on loan even earlier but for the (hamstring) injury to Nani. I just wanted to see how that was.
"It is good for him, it is good for his development. Everybody will have a chance to see how he plays.
"The idea is he shows what he can do and comes back a better player for Manchester United."
Zaha will remain at Cardiff until the summer but may have another chance to assert himself next season.
