With it confirmed that Sir Alex Ferguson recently watched Lille star Eden Hazard, the young Belgian has revealed that he would be open to offers from Manchester United.

It appears United are stepping up their chase for the attacker with United coach Rene Meulensteen also confirming that Hazard is a player that he and Sir Alex have spoken about about earlier in the month.

And upon hearing of United’s interest Hazard has reaffirmed that United is a club that interests him:

“I am flattered by the compliment coming from the top manager in world football.

“I did not know he was at the game to be honest but no one knew he came to watch me because I was not aware.

“Manchester United are a very top team and anyone would listen to them.”
