Former Manchester United star Roy Keane has slammed Chelsea forward Eden Hazard for his comments hours before their Champions League clash with French giants Paris Saint-Germain.
The former Lille man told reporters that it would be difficult to turn down a move to the French capital if PSG came knocking at his door during the transfer window. What seemed to irk Keane was the fact that the Blues forward, who was lethal last season, had signed a five-year deal last year that would keep him at the Stamford Bridge until 2020.
During the pre-match interview with Le Parisien, the 25-year-old said:
"(It is) difficult to say no to PSG, or to any of the teams capable of winning the Champions League. PSG are now in that category. And for me, winning the Champions League is my main aim."
The Belgian was in action as Chelsea went down 2-1 against The Parisians at Parc des Princes thanks to goals from Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Edinson Cavani, who came in as a late substitute.

The 44-year-old was speaking during ITV’s UEFA Champions League show. During the interview, he revealed:
"I really can't understand these players. He signed an extension last year to his contract for another five years. We saw how good he was last year.
"And then he's coming out with all that nonsense on the eve of a big, big game. If I was one of his team-mates I'd kick him up and down the training pitch. Some of the senior players have got to get hold of him.
"A talented, talented boy but his attitude, even last night, he's like a spoilt child. It's absolutely ridiculous.’’
