Ole Gunnar Solskjaer backs Wilfried Zaha to go to World Cup with England

Cardiff City boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer believes that Wilfried Zaha is good enough to warrant an England place for this summer's World Cup in Brazil.

Cardiff City manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is confident that Wilfried Zaha will be included in England's World Cup squad this summer in Brazil.

The 21-year-old has joined the Bluebirds on loan until the end of the season after failing to break into David Moyes's Manchester United first team.

Despite his lack of playing time, Solskjaer believes that the former Crystal Palace player has all the attributes to be worthy of a World Cup place.

"If he plays well, Wilfried could be on the plane to Brazil," Wales Online quotes Solskjaer as saying. "He has been bright in training and has taken on board what he has been told.

"It's not about Wilf helping us, we have to help each other. He is a shy lad but has certainly not shown a lack of confidence in training."

Zaha made the permanent move to Old Trafford last summer.
