The 21 year-old is increasingly confident he can reassure new manager Louis van Gaal he has the ability to acquire a place in the Manchester United squad next season after the English International failed to get a chance under David Moyes.
The 20 times Premier League champions paid around £15m to Crystal Palace in January 2013, securing Zaha's services. He, who Sir Alex Ferguson saw as a future star, stayed at Selhurst Park on loan for the rest of that campaign, helping the South London club gain promotion to the Premier League.
Although impressing on United's pre-season tour of Asia when he finally linked up with his new team-mates for the first time, the midfielder was ignored by Moyes during the first part of the campaign. He spent most of his time on the bench, only playing a combined total of 41 minutes in two matches before going on loan to Cardiff in the January transfer window.
However, Zaha still believes he has a future at Manchester United and is currently proving his worth to the new boss, hoping to show why the Dutchman should keep him on the Red Devil's tour of the US.
"For me, I definitely feel like this is a clean slate," Zaha told Manchester United's official website.
"All I'm trying to do is impress the new manager and get into his squad. All I can do is give my all. There's a new manager and I want to make sure I show him what I can do.
"United are a big club, so we need strong opposition and we've got that on pre-season this year. There's no doubt we'll be tested on tour and that's a good thing.
"It should prepare us well for the season ahead. I'm really looking forward to being involved and I can't wait to face those teams."
He claims his time at Cardiff has prepared him for the challenge ahead, now having experience in the Premier League.
"It's great to be back. There's a nice vibe, everybody's working hard and we're looking forward to the new season," said Zaha.
"Going to Cardiff was a really good experience for me. I managed to get quite a few games under my belt at Premier League level, which was good, and I feel like I've come back a better player.
"I've realised there are things about my game I need to work on and concentrate on, and I know this is the best place to be if I want to improve. I really want to make myself a better player."
