The agent of Eden Hazard has revealed Manchester United and Barcelona have been following the Belgian starlet for over two years.

Chelsea are also keen on the Lille teenager as his Italian agent, Francesco Musarra, confirmed to Tuttomercatoweb.com: "Outside of Italy, this is a player who has been admired by Barcelona and Manchester United for at least two years. Playing now with regularity this season, the Blaugrana in particular have already tried to take him last summer.

"The greatest danger, however, comes from the Premier League, I'm sorry to say, but in this field our (Italy's) football has been passed by."
