He revealed that Hazard has been in fantastic form for Chelsea taking opportunities he could sometimes let go for Morata .

He also explained that because of the unconventional way both Hazard and Willian drift inside the field it makes it difficult for Morata to understand when he should position himself into a goalscoring position as he prefers to come participate in the buildup play.

Gullit  said, "They don't come into any positions where they create anything for him.

"The worst part is you can see Willian and Hazard always dribble inside because they don't trust him.

"It is difficult for a striker to play with these two who go inside all the time, you don't know where to go.

"But also when the crosses are in, I think there was a moment in the first half where you asked, where is Morata, he wasn't there. So they don't trust him."

A late Ross Barkley goal cancelled out Anthony Martial’s brace for Manchester United as Chelsea remain unbeaten this season in all competitions .

Alvaro Morata will hope to find the back of the net when Chelsea take face off with BATE Borisov on Thursday, October 25.
