Manchester United Transfer News: Eden Hazard Is the Playmaker Red Devils Need

Nicholas GossMay 24, 2012

Lille star Eden Hazard can be the playmaker that Manchester United need to improve as a squad both domestically and in Europe.

According to Soccernet, Hazard hasn't decided which Premier League club to join for next season.

"

"I do not know when I'll make a decision about my future club," he said in HLN. "It will be Manchester City, Manchester United or Chelsea. My decision will depend on my position and how much playing time I will get.

"Not everyone can say that they have a choice between three top clubs."

Hazard also said he was enjoying his playmaker role for the Belgian national team. "I'm happy that I'm playing for the Red Devils [Belgium] in my best position, as a true No. 10," he said.

Hazard has impressive playmaking skills, evidenced by his stats for Lille this season in Ligue 1.

In 38 league games this season, Hazard had 20 goals and 16 assists. According to WhoScored.com, Hazard completed 81.9 percent of his passes this season, which for a winger that that scores a lot goals for his club is a pretty solid mark.

Hazard is also very good at making the final pass, the one that leads to a shot on goal. This is an important skill, and he can do this from a number of positions including at forward or in the midfield.

Piling up good stats in Ligue 1 isn't as impressive as doing it in the Premier League, but that doesn't mean we should dismiss a lot of Hazard's success in France.

He's a very good playmaker and the type of player that Manchester United need to get back on top of English football.
