Ian Holloway ruled out a loan move for Wilfried Zaha, with the Crystal Palace manager expecting the winger to make a big impact at Manchester United.
The English Premier League champions bought the 20-year-old from Palace in the January transfer window, before immediately loaning him back to the club.
With Palace winning promotion to the Premier League, there have been some suggestions that Holloway could make a bid to bring the talented England international back to Selhurst Park for a season-long loan.
However, Holloway believes United manager David Moyes will incorporate Zaha into the first team right from the off.
"I don't think for one minute I'd even consider asking David Moyes about signing him right now," Holloway told talkSPORT. "I don't think it's fair to the boy. He's got to have a go at United.
"I'm sure I know Moyes that well that if there was a club in the Premier League that Wilfried Zaha wanted to play for, if it wasn't Manchester United, I'm sure it would be us. So, I'm sure the phone would ring.
"Let's be perfectly honest, I think the boy is so exciting he's going to have a chance at United and I can see him getting in their first team. I genuinely mean that.
"I wish him all the best in his Manchester United career and well done to them for buying him.
"Sir Alex Ferguson very rarely gets them wrong and David Moyes will be delighted he's found that talent in his midst, because he can win games at the very, very top level."
Meanwhile, Moyes has made it clear his number one priority as United manager is to win trophies.
"I'm hungry to win trophies and driven to do it," he told MUTV. "If I don't, it won't be for the lack of effort or commitment.
"I think the players at this club give you that opportunity -- that's no disrespect to the club I've come from as they have great players and did a great job, but it was always going to be a fight to win the really big trophies.
"I think Manchester United can as they have shown by what they have done in the past."
