Crystal Palace reportedly earmark Burnley winger Dwight McNeil as a possible replacement for Wilfried Zaha and are willing to fight Manchester United for his signature.

Crystal Palace have reportedly identified Burnley winger Dwight McNeil as their number one target to replace Wilfried Zaha.

Zaha has regularly been linked with a move away from Selhurst Park in recent windows and has made no secret of his desire to join a bigger club with Champions League aspirations.

The Ivory Coast international has been told that he is free to leave Palace this summer if a suitable offer arrives, and the Daily Mail reports that the Eagles have earmarked McNeil as a possible replacement.

The 20-year-old has also been heavily linked with a move to a European hopeful, including Manchester United and Everton, but Palace believe that the offer of regular first-team football will help them to win the race for his signature.

McNeil has established himself as a key member of the Burnley side over the last two seasons, making 58 appearances across all competitions including 31 this season.

The Clarets are understood to want around £30m for the England Under-21 international.
