GALATASARAY star Wilfried Zaha is set to return to Old Trafford for a rather bizarre reunion.
Manchester United take on Gala on Tuesday in the Champions League at Old Trafford.
Zaha had an unsuccessful two-year stint at the Red Devils who signed him from Crystal Palace in January 2013 but let him stay at Selhurst Park until the end of the season.
The winger moved to Manchester six months later but never managed to win over then manager David Moyes, who shipped him out on loan to Cardiff in January 2014.
The Ivory Coast international returned to Palace on August and made his comeback permanent a year later to spend a whopping eight seasons with the Eagles until his move to Galatasaray last summer.
The 30-year-old’s last ever match with United took place on December 15, 2013 in a Premier League clash against Aston Villa at Villa Park.

Zaha came off the bench and helped the Manchester giants win 3-0 thanks to a goal by Tom Cleverley and a Danny Welbeck double.
All of his team-mates from that day have either joined other clubs or called time on their careers.
That is except one of them – whom the forward will meet in the Champions League in a reunion no one would ever expect before the start of the season.
That is Jonny Evans, who returned to United in the summer at the age of 35 eight years after his departure.
