September 12th According to multiple media reports, among the 74 charges by the FA against Chelsea, the transfer of players such as Hazard, William, and Etoo were involved. The Sun took this opportunity to review Chelsea's 2012 signing Hazard.

In 2012, Manchester United had agreed with Lille on Hazard's transfer fee and the player's personal terms, but Hazard's agent John Biko asked Manchester United for £1 million and paid directly by the Manchester United boss, which could bypass the club's fiscal fairness bill calculation.

Manchester United said they would never agree to such an operation because it clearly violated the rules of the Premier League and UEFA. In the end, the deal broke down and Hazard joined Chelsea for £32 million.

After signing Hazard failed, Manchester United spent £12 million to introduce Japanese midfielder Shinji Kagawa from Dortmund.
