Chelsea star Hazard expects Man Utd target Ibrahimovic to achieve a lot more in football

Eden Hazard is confident Zlatan Ibrahimovic still has plenty to achieve in football.

Hazard's Belgium defeated Ibrahimovic's Sweden 1-0 at Euro2016 on Wednesday which brings to an end the 34-year-old striker's international career.

After 116 games and 62 goals at international level, Ibrahimovic will now focus on cloud football - quite possibly with Manchester United - and Hazard is expecting him to achieve much more success wherever he ends up.

"Zlatan is a big name in football. He has achieved a lot of things with Sweden, some great things," Chelsea star Hazard said of the departing PSG great.

"He will have wanted to stay in the tournament a bit longer, but it was our goal to progress.

"But he will always be a huge name in football. He can still achieve a lot of things at club level."
