Hazard to choose Chelsea over Man Utd?

Lille midfielder Eden Hazard could snub Manchester United in favour of either new European champions Chelsea or Premier League champions Manchester City.

The Blues entered the race to grab the Lille midfielder, 21, last week.

They are understood to have met his representatives and could be close to landing him in a £25 million deal, according to The Sun.

That will be a major blow to City and United, who have been tracking the player for more than a year.

City have already taken Hazard on a tour of properties in Cheshire, it added.

Yet the Belgian ace would be swayed by concern about how much first-team football he would get among City’s galaxy of stars.
