Hodgson predicts big future for Zaha
England manager Roy Hodgson expects Wilfried Zaha to make a big impact at Manchester United next season.
The 20-year-old will play his final game for Championship side Crystal Palace in the play-off final against Watford on Monday after agreeing to join Manchester United ahead of the 2013-14 campaign in January.
Zaha won his first England cap under Hodgson in November last year, coming on as a substitute in a 4-2 defeat against Sweden, and the former Liverpool boss feels the forward will be a success at Old Trafford.
"I like Wilfried Zaha. I think he is a good player," he said.

Impressive Celtic cruise to Scottish Cup win
Celtic completed the double at Hampden Park on Sunday with a convincing 3-0 win over Hibernian in the Scottish Cup final.
A Gary Hooper double ensured the Parkhead trophy cabinet will have two new additions this season while Hibs again taste heartbreak, following last season's defeat in the final against Hearts.
The Scottish Premier League champions had to weather some strong early pressure from Hibs, with Eoin Doyle going close after eight minutes with a header.
However, Celtic were ahead just minutes later when Gary Hooper grabbed the first of two goals, sneaking in at the far post to finish off an Anthony Stokes cross.

Duplan seals UEFA Europa League spot for Utrecht
Utrecht sealed the final European spot in the Eredivisie with a 3-2 aggregate victory over Twente in the end-of-season play-offs.
Twente may have won the second leg 2-1 but Edouard Duplan's strike, 18 seconds into the second half, sealed an aggregate victory for Jan Wouters' side.
Long-range strikes from Dusan Tadic and Nacer Chadli brought the scores level by half-time, but a mistake from Felipe Gutierrez after a poor clearance from Sander Boschker allowed Duplan to seal Utrecht's return to European football after three seasons away with a simple finish.
After sealing a first-leg victory, the home side looked in confident mood in the opening half hour of the game.

Valbuena: My best season so far
Mathieu Valbuena has hailed the 2012-13 season as his finest ever for Marseille.
The diminutive attacker scored three goals in 36 Ligue 1 games this term, but racked up an impressive 12 assists, second only to Lille's Dmitri Payet.
Marseille will finish second in Ligue 1 behind big-spending Paris Saint-Germain and Valbuena believes it ranks among the side's better recent campaigns.
"From a personal point of view it has been a good season, I have put in some strong performances, I played well with the French national team as well so it made me improve," he said.
"The Marseille results were very good as well so I guess we can talk about a very good season, per
