This one is again from a French broadsheet. There must some truth to this, as there has been numerous reports about his choosing us, and not Chelsea and Man City.

"This is Manchester United who has a large advantage for the signing of young Lille Eden Hazard. According to relatives of the player, the nugget Belgian took the decision last weekend to join the club led by Sir Alex Ferguson and was even about to announce.
Galvanized by his decision finally taken, Eden Hazard was about to reveal his choice this past weekend. But his advisers, who are still discussing with Manchester City and Chelsea would have encouraged him to take his time. " Nothing is done anywhere "told us a few days ago the player's agent.
United, the choice of the heart?
In fact, Hazard actually looking for the Red Devils since Sir Alex Ferguson personally presented him with an ambitious project is the cornerstone, but no contract was signed yesterday and as yet it has not affixed his autograph at the bottom of an official document, the player does not take the chance to announce his decision while some details remain to be solved. Especially in recent weeks, the young Belgian has often changed his mind. According to reports from England, United could not afford to align contractual offers made by the City and Chelsea player. Hazard would be willing to do this "sacrifice" for the financial choices of the heart but its representatives may be trying to make him understand that it is good for him to reflect further. However, an agreement would be very close on a contract basis for five seasons."
Sorry guys, another Hazard article.

Football these days makes you pretty sick doesnt it. Player wants A, but who the hell is he to decide on his own career, that's clearly the agents job.
Player: 'I want to play for United'
Agent: 'No you don't, Chelsea makes me an extra million, so sign here'
Same goes for Pogba, the agent wants him to play for Juve not United, so that's what happens.
Why dont these players just grow up, grow some and make a decision without some biased parasite who's making millions off them blowing in their ear? You'd think even dumb footballers could see through some of the 'advice'.
Anyway fingers crossed the agent wins in this case, and then we can afford to spend the 35m on someone like Martinez who actually plays in a position we desperately need to strengthen hugely. Even better buy Strootman, Sahin and someone like Alba for not far off the same money, then if SAF really really wants a 10/wide player, get Kagawa with the left overs after we've fixed the priority issues.
Just seems like things are backwards if we are in for Hazard i.e. spend the bulk of our budget on a luxury star player in a position we dont urgently need to strengthen and use whatever is left over to try and get a cheaper solution to the CM and full back positions.

Agents should never have a say on where a player should go, they should only deal with the money issue.

Agents should never have a say were a player goes, Owners should mind their business and stay out of direct footballing matter, players should not be greedy,. Why do many people assume we should live in a perfect world when we are in a world which is far from perfect?
You either decide to play the game, or get out of the game.

'There must some truth to this, as there has been numerous reports about his choosing us, and not Chelsea and Man City.'
Or they are jumping on the bandwagon as per. Let's face it, no respectable British newspaper or reporter has said anything of the sort, in fact, I don’t think a British newspaper has said this at all.
