The Man United boss shook hands or gave a friendly tap to the players he used to manage - but thrust his hands into his pockets when Hazard approached

JOSE MOURINHO appeared to deliver an incredible snub to Eden Hazard before the Chelsea versus Manchester United game today.
"The Special One" acknowledged the Chelsea players with a handshake or a friendly tap as they came out of the tunnel prior to the Premier League clash.
He was clearly delighted to be re-acquainted with the likes of Cesc Fabregas and Thibaut Courtois who he used to manage in his time as Chelsea boss.
But when Hazard made his appearance, now-Manchester United boss Mourinho thrust his hands into his pockets - perhaps proving that there is some bad blood between the pair.
There were reports during the end of Mourinho's second spell at Stamford Bridge that he fell out with the Belgian winger.
The snub is all the more strange in that Hazard had some kind words for his former boss before the game.
He said: "When Jose came he tried to make me one of the best players in England and I think he put this in my mind, that it was possible.
"I started to realise that if I’m playing well in every game I could be one of the best."
SunSport has previously reported how Mourinho used to mock Eden Hazard over his inability to defend.
The Belgian, 26, was named PFA Player of the Year as the Special One won the title in his first season back in the Stamford Bridge hot seat.
But the pair's relationship soured and Hazard was one of several players targeted by fans as the defending champs slumped.
And The Guardian claims Mourinho, 54, dented his star player's confidence by shaming him in front of his team-mates.
The Portuguese apparently used to claim: “Today we’re playing with 10" to try and force Hazard into upping his work rate.
