Joker Hazard, 27, seems to gesture towards Paul Pogba’s smaller ballboy, who then swaps with Sanchez’s partner.

The Chile star, 29, claps the boy on the shoulder and walks onto the pitch.

Hazard proved to be even more of a pain to Sanchez during the match as he scored the winning goal 22 minutes in.

The Belgium forward was brought down by Phil Jones in the box after a brilliant run to win a penalty, which he converted.

Sanchez scored at the other end – only for his goal to be ruled out by VAR for offside.

Old Trafford boss Jose Mourinho took a swipe at his former club after the game.

He said: “I think we were the best team, but that is football.

“I am quite curious to know what you say or what people write because if my team plays like Chelsea did, I can imagine what people would say.”
