Alvaro Morata has impressed during his short time at Chelsea, but Graeme Le Saux feels Manchester United got a “better striker” in Romelu Lukaku.
Two Premier League title rivals identified the central striking berth in their respective sides to be in need of reinforcement over the summer.
United had set their sights on Morata at one stage, while Lukaku was being heavily linked with a return to Stamford Bridge for a second spell.
Pressed for his opinion on two leading marksmen, former Chelsea defender Le Saux told Betfair: "Alvaro Morata has shone in those two games [against Everton and Leicester], scoring in each.
"Chelsea were obviously in for Romelu Lukaku in the summer and missed out, but Morata is certainly doing enough to justify his transfer fee.
"At the moment you might say that Lukaku is the better striker, based on amount of goals scored, but Morata has huge potential."
