Eden Hazard and Willian refuse to pass to Alvaro Morata, Chelsea legend Ruud Gullit believes
Former Chelsea star reckons the Spaniard's attacking partners are deliberately avoiding bringing the striker into play because they do not "trust" him
EDEN HAZARD and Willian deliberately avoided passing to Chelsea team-mate Alvaro Morata in the 2-2 draw against Manchester United, according to Ruud Gullit.
The former Chelsea player and manager, 56, believes the wingers do not "trust" their Spanish forward and are playing their own games without supporting the ex-Real Madrid star.
Gullit told beINSports: "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."

Morata has just two Premier League goals this season, five fewer than Belgian Hazard, who was named Player of the Month for September.
His goal off the bench in Chelsea's 3-0 win over Southampton before the international break meant Maurizio Sarri picked him to start against Jose Mourinho's side instead of Olivier Giroud.
But the Spaniard struggled again yesterday in the 2-2 draw with Manchester United at Stamford Bridge.
He was substituted off after 79 minutes for Giroud meaning he has completed the full 90 minutes just once this season, on the opening day against Huddersfield.
