The Red Devils have stepped up their form this summer after underachieving at both the 2014 World Cup and Euro 2016.

Hazard alongside Kevin De Bruyne, Marouane Fellaini and Romelu Lukaku became the ultimate dream team during their 2-1 win over Brazil.

First half goals from Fernandinho (own goal) and Kevin De Bruyne put Belgium ahead but not even Renato Augusto’s 76th-minute header was enough to put Brazil back in the game.

However it was Hazard's superb performance that caught everyone's eye as he glided past defenders and created one chance after another.

During his display the 27-year-old recorded an incredible feat.

Hazard completed all ten of his take ons against Brazil, the highest number with a 100 per cent success rate since 1966.

To complete that statistic in any game is outrageous but against Brazil is just incredible.
