Manchester United fans will have suffered their fair share of grief over the last couple of years and may perhaps empathise with what is going on at Chelsea right now.
In fact The Blues, who were heavily tipped to retain their title this season, have made an even worse start (11 points in 10 games) than Manchester United did last (13 points in their opening 10 games).
And, as if to put the boot in, the tabloids have suggested on Sunday that Eden Hazard may be tempted away from the club and that Manchester United could be one of the suitors.
The Daily Star on Sunday leads the charge with:
Barcelona, Real Madrid, Man United and Man City set to battle for Chelsea ace
EDEN HAZARD’S rift withJose Mourinho has alerted Spanish giants Real Madrid and Barcelona.
The Premier League Player of The Year for 2014/15 has been one of the leading lights in the English league since joining Chelsea in the summer of 2012.
At just 24 he has scored 50 goals in 174 games for Chelsea and had his best season last year.
But his form has mirrored that of Chelsea this season and he was even benched last week.
We do feel that if Hazard leaves Chelsea, he would be more likely to try his hand in Spain at Real Madrid or Barcelona than Manchester United.
He would fit in beautifully at either of the Spanish giants and, with constant speculation about the future of Gareth Bale, Hazard may be seen as a perfect replacement at Real Madrid.
But Manchester United would surely make their interest known if the player did become available.
Let’s see his best bits. Manchester United fans: Possible?
