The performances of Eden Hazard, Edinson Cavani and Fernando Llorente have impressed both Roberto Mancini and Sir Alex Ferguson, which has led to both managers place them on their transfer list this summer. With Manchester United currently in an unstable financial situation and with Roberto Mancini already been given a huge sum of money, it is unclear whether the managers will even get the backing by their respective boards.
It comes as no surprise that with Dimitar Berbatov, Federico Macheda nd Michael Owen all looking to depart from Old Trafford this season that Sir Alex will want to replace them. At the other side of Manchester, the transfer targets seem reasonable when considering that Edin Dzecko, Carlos Tevez and Mario Balotelli are also looking to leave and City have such huge cash reserves.
Cavani has been in great form this season and seemed to impress both managers when he scored against Chelsea and Manchester City in the Champions League. In the Europa league, Llorente impressed when his side, Atheltic Bilbao knocked favorites Manchester United out of the competition. Hazard on the other hand, has been labeled a great young talent and that observation along with great performances has definitely sparked interest.
