Chelsea winger Eden Hazard has claimed he would not follow Zinedine Zidane to Manchester United should the Frenchman takeover at Old Trafford.
The Belgian had been linked with a move to Real Madrid during Zidane’s time at the club (h/t Mirror), and the player has once again claimed he would not mind a move to Los Galacticos.
Speaking to France Football (h/t Mirror), Hazard did not play down his interest in the Spanish giants:
“Why not? You know it very well.”
However, the 28-year-old attacker did not see himself as a Manchester United player under Zidane:
“If he goes to Manchester tomorrow, for instance, I will not be going there.”
The Belgian added that he had won almost everything in England with Chelsea and was open to exploring “something different”.
Hazard also claimed there could be “things” that could keep him in the country, but United does not seem to be one of those.
It will be a huge blow for Maurizio Sarri to lose Hazard and if the Belgian is set to move to Real Madrid, at least we should make the Spanish giants pay through their noses.
Hazard is in the prime of his life and will only get better in the coming years. The goals seem to have dried a bit since his move to a central role, but the Belgian still has 10 goals and 10 assists in the Premier League this season.

The last time Hazard scored for us was in our 2-1 win over Watford on Boxing Day, and hopefully, he finds his shooting boots against Tottenham in the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final.
