Manchester United Rumors: Zaha Denies David Moyes Daughter Relationship As Reason For Premier League Lack Of Play

Dec 06, 2013 01:39 PM EST

Manchester United is having a tough go of it so far on the Premier League table this season and that has fueled speculation about a number of things, including a possible relationship between Wilfried Zaha and manager David Moyes daughter.

According to Reuters, social media has speculated about the relationship as the reason why Zaha has not been playing for the team, although he denied that afterwards on social media itself. Zaha said that he will play when Moyes feels that he is ready and this comes after he transferred over earlier in the year and the team is working to try and move up the table, as they are currently in ninth place and have six wins in 14 matches this season.

The club is behind Southampton, Newcastle United, Tottenham as well as Everton, Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea and Arsenal in the league table.

Manchester United's Wilfried Zaha has denied social media speculation that his lack of game time for the Premier League champions was due to an alleged relationship with manager David Moyes' daughter.

"I've never dated or even met David Moyes's Daughter so that isn't the reason for my absence in games," the 21-year-old Tweeted on Friday.

"I would like to stop all these false accusations .. I will play for Manchester United when my manager feels I'm ready." Zaha, capped twice by England, signed for United from Crystal Palace in January for 15 million pounds ($24.5 million), but remained at the south London club until the end of the season.

He is yet to make a league appearance for United, having only played in the Community Shield win over Wigan Athletic and in a League Cup victory over Norwich City, fuelling speculation on social media that his omission from the team was linked to a relationship with his manager's daughter.
