Chelsea lost 4-1 to Manchester United on Thursday night, with Hakim Ziyech playing only eight minutes at the end.
Both the Moroccan international and the Blues have had a dismal season.

While Hakim Ziyech did well in his cameo, assisting Joao Felix’s goal, some Chelsea fans may not agree with what he did after the 90-minute mark.
What is the backstory?
After the humiliating defeat at Old Trafford, the £33.3m man was seen laughing and smiling with Erik ten Hag.
Ziyech has a great relationship with the Dutchman, having played 100 games for him at Ajax, scoring 35 goals and assisting 53 times as the pair won the Eredivisie and the Dutch Cup.
However, following yet another Chelsea defeat, the 30-year-old should have read the atmosphere and waited until he was in the safety of the tunnel before smiling and laughing with his old employer.
The photo of Ziyech and Ten Hag enjoying their reunion is shown below.
Ziyech was also seen removing Tyrell Malacia’s shirt before walking straight down the tunnel without recognizing the traveling Chelsea fans, which is certain to enrage fans.
Ziyech has arrived in Chelsea.
Ziyech will undoubtedly depart Chelsea after the season, according to Fabrizio Romano.
“Yeah, for Aubameyang, 100 percent,” the Italian told Give Me Sport. 100% for Ziyech. They both know Chelsea will put them on the market, thus they will both depart the club.”
It comes after Sky Sports reported that the Moroccan was enraged when the Blues botched his January deal with Paris Saint-Germain.
Safeguard Your Assets, Embrace Peace of Mind
Based on his post-match behavior against Manchester United, it appears that Ziyech has fully checked out at Stamford Bridge and no longer cares how he is seen amongst supporters – at least in our opinion.
