Manchester United target Eden Hazard flattered by Alex Ferguson's trip to watch him play for Lille Hazard, scorer of 11 goals in 27 Ligue 1 appearances this season, has also caught the eye of Real Madrid and Barcelona, but is thought to prefer a move to the Premier League. Ferguson has held a long-standing interest in Hazard, but Tottenham had been favourites to sign the 21 year-old, who has also been monitored by Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City. However, with Ferguson determined to avoid a repeat of last summer's failure to add an attacking midfielder to his squad, when moves for Samir Nasri and Wesley Sneijder both ended in disappointment, the Scot is keen to identify targets for an early raid in the transfer market this summer. Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp, speaking to French media at the weekend, conceded that United had emerged as serious rivals in the race for Hazard. Manchester City too, so it will be difficult to sign him.
