Fans convinced Hakim Ziyech "hates Chelsea" after footage of him after 4-1 trouncing to Man United emerges
Hakim Ziyech's attitude towards Chelsea has been questioned after the Blues were trailed 4-1 by Manchester United at Old Trafford.
United went wild with the goals of Casemiro, Anthony Martial, Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford and secured a place in next season's Champions League.
Chelsea scored a late consolation thanks to Joao Felix but it was another miserable escape for Frank Lampard's men, who are 12th in the Premier League ahead of their final home game against fourth. is Newcastle.
But one player didn't seem to mind at all after that. Ziyech, a 33.4m signing from Ajax in 2020, has not started since Lampard became caretaker manager. His last appearance since leaving was against Spurs in February and he had been briefly on the bench recently.
He had eight minutes against United before swapping shirts with Tyrell Malacia and laughing with Erik ten Hag, who coached him at Ajax.
Ziyech was expected to join Paris Saint-Germain on the last day of the transfer window before the deal collapsed due to Chelsea's poor submission of documents.
And fans thought the Moroccan looked like someone who lost interest on Thursday night. One person wrote:
"Ziyech grabbed Malacia's shirt and went straight down the tunnel after a small conversation with Ten Hag made me angry, he hates Chelsea."
One second says:
"After blocking his move to PSG and not allowing him to play more as promised, he has every right to hate them!"

The third said:
"He looks down on Chelsea. Don't blame him tbf."
While others said:
"Free this man from Chelsea, he deserves so much better."
Fifth scale:
"The player who didn't like the club ruined his transfer thus forcing him to stay for another 6 months? SHOCK."
Ziyech has signed a five-year contract with Chelsea and has two years left on his current contract. But it seems highly unlikely that he will stay at Stamford Bridge next season.
The 30-year-old has made 106 appearances for Chelsea, scoring 14 goals.
