That is according to Premier League legend and ex-Arsenal goalscorer Ian Wright.

Lukaku and Morata could have easily ended up in the opposite teams this season.

After switching attention from Antoine Griezmann, Jose Mourinho went after Morata at Real Madrid.

But United failed to reach an agreement over a fee with the La Liga giants, despite the Spaniard being keen to join.

As a result, Mourinho pounced to land Antonio Conte’s top target Lukaku from Everton for £75m.

That saw the Blues go in for Morata for £70m, but both deals have worked out well for United and Chelsea.

The two strikers each have a joint-league high six goals already.

And Wright feels they are relishing at being the main men on the big stage now.

“It’s funny how the misery of a miss can lead to such a sensational hit, but that’s been the case for both Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte,” Wright wrote in his column for The Sun.

“If Jose had got his first-choice striking target in the summer, Alvaro Morata would be leading the Manchester United attack.

“If Conte had landed his, then Romelu Lukaku would be back at Stamford Bridge and filling Diego Costa’s boots.

“I doubt either manager will ever be so delighted at having to switch their sights, given how both forwards have hit the ground running.

“And the reasons for that — as well as being top players, obviously — are clear to me.

“Both know they are loved, know they are the main man, and know they are in the right place at last.

“Morata came from Real Madrid having never really had a chance to establish himself at the Bernabeu.

“He was clearly frustrated at being a back-up, so the move to England was a godsend.

“Lukaku also made no secret of his frustration, even though he was the star at Everton.

“He didn’t feel the club’s ambitions matched his own. Lukaku was desperate for Champions League football and despite everyone thinking it would be Chelsea who provided it, United and Jose are the ideal fit.”
