Eden Hazard cannot wait to go up against Jose Mourinho's Manchester United

Chelsea playmaker Eden Hazard says that he cannot wait to go up against Jose Mourinho's Manchester United team next season.

Chelsea playmaker Eden Hazard has admitted that he is relishing playing against a Jose Mourinho-led Manchester United team next season.

The Belgium international spent almost two-and-a-half years playing under Mourinho at Stamford Bridge before the Portuguese coach was sacked by the Blues in December.

Hazard was named PFA Player of the Year in Chelsea's Premier League-winning season in the 2014-15 campaign, but when top-flight football returns in August, the midfielder will be on the opposite side of his former manager.

Mourinho was officially appointed as the new United boss on a three-year deal on Friday.

"He is a fantastic manager," Reuters quotes Hazard as saying. "I wish him good luck. I would really want to play against his team."

Chelsea will have outgoing Italy boss Antonio Conte in charge next season.
