Given his performances for Los Blancos, it's highly unlikely that the deal will be renewed. Given the current circumstances, the club might look to part ways with the player before that.Hazard has also retired from the Belgian national team after the Red Devils' group-stage exit from the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Former coach Roberto Martinez doesn't see the superstar returning to action for the Red Devils. He said (via Diario AS, h/t Football Espana):“He was an incredible player for the Red Devils. We should appreciate that. There were already big names above the number 10 on the jerseys, but he has written stories with golden letters in his position. Everything about him has made the national team a better institution.”Martinez added:“Nope (he won’t return). He could always come back for a specific competition, a European Championship or a World Cup, but Eden is a team player. I don’t think he’ll come back for a tournament that he didn’t qualify for on the field, because then it would also hinder someone who did help the team qualify.”
