Ferguson confirms Hazard interest: He's very good

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed his interest in Lille star Eden Hazard.

In an interview with French radio station RMC Sport Ferguson said that he was impressed with the 21-year-old Belgian.

"I came to watch Lille play Lyon and followed Hazard of course, along with other players,” Ferguson said.

"He is a very good player who has many qualities. He is particularly fast over the first 10 yards."

Man Utd may confirm Pogba deal this week

Manchester United are confident Paul Pogba will sign his new contract.

The Manchester Evening News says United expect to make Paul Pogba their first major summer signing.

Sir Alex Ferguson believes he has finally fought off competition from Juventus to secure the highly-rated French starlet on a long-term deal.

Pogba is out of contract at the end of the season - sparking a scramble among Europe's biggest clubs for his signature.

Italian giants Juventus looked set to lure him to Serie A until Ferguson stepped in.

The United manager has convinced Pogba and his agent Mino Raiola that the 19-year-old will become a key figure for the Premier League champions.

A contract has been agreed in principal and United hope to announce a four-year deal as early as this week.

Ferguson: We've agreed deal with Pogba agent

Sir Alex Ferguson admits they're waiting on Paul Pogba to accept terms.

Terms have been agreed with the youngster's agent, now it just requires the 19-year-old to give the green light.

"The boy has great potential and he is at the right club," Ferguson told MUTV.

"He has to make that decision.

"We have agreed a deal with his agent. Now it is just down to the boy."

Man Utd won't pressure Pogba to commit

Manchester United won't pressure Paul Pogba about signing a new contract.

His agent, Mino Raiola, doesn't expect the French youngster to wait until the end of the season to make a decision.

"No, I think he'll make the decision when his heart and head is ready to make the decision and there is no date fixed on that," said Raiola, who added that United have not told the player they require a decision by July for the new pre-season.

"Manchester United is behaving like a true gentleman's club, giving the boy all the space to decide. They know it is a difficult decision and [he is] a young boy. So it doesn't make any sense and wouldn't be right to pressure."
