The 20-year-old has impressed during pre-season with the Reds - and while he admits to still being starstruck by the names surrounding him, feels a regular first team berth isn't beyond the realms of possibility.
Although a talent of his own, Zaha will have to first get used to sitting beside Ryan Giggs before making a real impact at Old Trafford.
Ready to go: Wilfried Zaha is gunning for a regular starting place and has impressed during pre-seasonBut perhaps he was being polite when mentioning Danny Welbeck - especially as the two may go head-to-head for a place out wide under David Moyes.
'In the changing room I'm sitting between Ryan Giggs and Danny Welbeck, famous people who I watch all the time on TV,' he said.
'I sit there and think, 'Oh my God, I'm actually in the changing room with these guys'.
Chilled? Even though Zaha took the chance to relax in Bangkok, he has admitted to being starstruck at United'I'm still a bit starstruck, if I'm honest.'
Signed by Crystal Palace in January, Zaha was loaned back to the Eagles for the remainder of the season - which ended in promotion to the Premier League.
That ought to have given the winger - who made his England debut in November - a taste of the big time, something he wants to get used to.

First cap of many? Roy Hodgson gave Zaha his England debut last season with more certain to follow'It's a dream to be able to play with them but I'm obviously here for a reason,' Zaha said.
'I worked hard at Palace to get the move I wanted and I just want to prove to people that I deserve to be here.
'For my first season the plan is to secure a first-team place.
'I just want to be able to play regularly. If I manage to accomplish that then I can move on to other things.'
