Belgian ace keeps City and United fans guessing

Lille ace Eden Hazard has confirmed that he will be playing in Manchester next season, but refused to reveal whether it will be at City or United. Hazard's future has been the subject of intense speculation for some time with a host of clubs across Europe chasing his signature. The Belgian international revealed over the weekend he would be quitting Lille at the end of the season after six years at the club. City and United have both been strongly linked with Hazard having watched him on several occasions this season with reports suggesting City are in pole position to land the playmaker. The 21-year-old has now confirmed he will be moving to the Premier League and will be plying his trade in Manchester next season after being named Ligue 1's Player of the year for the second consecutive season. "To Manchester, I've already said," Hazard replied when asked about his likely destination at the end of the current season when speaking at the awards gala. "The decision will be taken soon."
