Cesc Fabregas Claims Player Who Left Man United for Free Was Better Than Eden Hazard
Cesc Fabregas recently stirred up some debate by suggesting that former Manchester United icon Wayne Rooney surpassed Chelsea legend Eden Hazard in terms of greatness.
While Hazard enjoyed immense success at Stamford Bridge and was a standout performer in the Premier League, Fabregas believes Rooney’s impact and achievements at Manchester United elevate him to a higher pedestal.
Rooney, who burst onto the scene as a teenager at Everton before joining Manchester United in 2004, enjoyed a stellar 13-year career at Old Trafford under the guidance of Sir Alex Ferguson.
His remarkable goal-scoring prowess and contribution to the team’s trophy haul, including five Premier League titles and a Champions League triumph, solidified his status as one of the club’s all-time greats.
In contrast, Hazard’s tenure at Chelsea, although illustrious, didn’t quite reach the same heights in terms of silverware. Nonetheless, his mesmerizing displays on the pitch earned him widespread acclaim and admiration, particularly during his prime.
Fabregas, who shared the pitch with Hazard during their time at Chelsea, expressed his admiration for the Belgian maestro but ultimately favored Rooney when comparing the two in a recent video interview with Goal.
Interestingly, there was a point when Hazard himself publicly expressed his approval of Chelsea’s pursuit of Rooney back in 2013.
During a transfer saga that saw Chelsea making attempts to sign the English forward, Hazard voiced his admiration for Rooney’s talent and experience, indicating that he would welcome the opportunity to play alongside such a formidable player.
While Rooney’s legacy at Manchester United and Hazard’s impact at Chelsea are undeniable, Fabregas’ perspective adds an intriguing twist to the ongoing debate over the greatness of these two footballing icons.
