Retribution & Eager to Fight

If I play Retribution and attack with my one unit, can I then play Eager to Fight after the end of the maneuver segment to assign units to any battlefield with defending personalities?

Also would this work with Utaku Uzuki as well?

Thanks

No.

Eager To Fight specifically says that you "Assign" the units, rather than move them.

Retribution specifically says you may only assign one unit during the Attack Phase it creates.

Uzuki's ability has a similar prohibition, stating that you may only assign her.

This prevents both regular Maneuvers Segment assignment and any effect that says to assign units.
