Man Utd admit Eden Hazard interest

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson yesterday admitted that he would like to bring Belgium and Lille midfielder Eden Hazard to Old Trafford should the opportunity present itself.

The highly rated winger has been on the radar of some of Europe's biggest clubs, including Real Madrid, Arsenal, Tottenham and AC Milan; but Man Utd could jump to the front of the queue with Sir Alex's earlier announcement.


Sir Alex was actually watching Hazard in action in a recent Ligue 1 game.


"I was at the game and watched Hazard, as well as other players. That's part of my job, looking at good players," said Hazard.


"Hazard is a very good player and has a lot of qualities. He's particularly quick over the first ten yards."
