Eden Hazard is going to rub salt into Manchester United’s wounds by snubbing the chance to join the Red Devils – and opting for noisy neighbours Manchester City.
City are poised to wrestle the Premier League trophy out of Sir Alex Ferguson’s clammy grip – and now it looks like that’s not the only prize Roberto Mancini is going to pinch off the Old Trafford gaffer.
It seems that the title brings with it certain perks – and one of them could be first dibs on the cream of Europe’s young talent. Of course, City’s bottomless wallet doesn’t hurt when you’re out shopping.
All Europe has been on the hunt for Hazard, and the 21-year-old Belgium flyer looks like he’s made his mind up on his preferred destination: the Premier League… and Manchester City.
Hazard is set to leave French club Lille this summer and the winger claims he will be heading to the English top flight.
Ferguson and Mancini are fighting it out for the £25million-rated youngster and the player claims he will be wearing BLUE next season.
“I have already said that my wish is to go to the Premier League,” Hazard said. “It’s the blue that I’ll be wearing next season. Definitely the blue.”
Hazard has certainly got the skills to catch the eye.
