He left Palace for Galatasaray in the summer, only for the Turkish giants to draw former side Man Utd in the Champions League group stage.

And he marked his return to Old Trafford with a first-half equaliser, before drinking it in front of the home supporters by putting his hands behind his ears.

The star had a huge grin on his face as he lapped up the moment which silenced the locals.

Zaha joined Man Utd in 2013 in a deal worth up to £15million.

But he made just four appearances during the first half of the season, before being sent out on loan to Cardiff for the remainder of the campaign.

He returned to Old Trafford in the summer of 2014, only to be sent back out on loan to Palace.

And in 2015 he re-signed permanently for the Eagles – where he would go on to become a club legend.

Zaha scored 90 goals and provided 76 assists in 458 games for the Premier League side.

His time in England came to an end in the summer when his Palace contract expired.

Galatasaray picked him up on a free transfer and agreed a three-year deal with the forward.

He has scored one goal in his opening four Super Lig games for the club.
