It's about time Hazard had attacking manager at Chelsea - Kompany

Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany believes Eden Hazard can thrive under Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri.

The Belgian has played under predominantly conservative coaches at Stamford Bridge.

But Kompany believes his international teammate will flourish under the attack-minded Italian.

He said: "I think he was due an offensive manager. I can't remember him having that a lot in his career.

"Eventually a manager like this is what he needed, no matter where he was, to get the best out of him. The future is bright for him."

Manchester City will face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
