Man Utd boss Ferguson favouring Hazard over Tottenham star Bale

Manchester United have joined the battle for Lille wing wizard Eden Hazard.

The Daily star Sunday says Liverpool and Arsenal thought they were the Premier League clubs leading the race for Hazard, 19, who plays for French side Lille.

But United, searching for a left-sided player, believe Hazard could be the new Ryan Giggs, who is now 37.

United manager Sir Alex Ferguson is favouring Hazard ahead of Tottenham star Gareth Bale as he seeks a long-term replacement for Giggs.

Lille want at least £20 million for the youngster.
