The Spanish striker joined the Blues for a club record fee of 58million pounds.
But he was also heavily linked with a move to United during the early stages of the window.
And now, ahead of Chelsea’s clash with Roma in the Champions League, Morata has listed the three reasons why he chose to move to the Stamford Bridge side.
“I came here because there was a coach like Antonio Conte,” Morata told Gazetta dello Sport . “We started talking about my eventual transfer last spring and I finally came to London.
“I’m in debt with Conte. He had taken me for Juve and then left for Italy. When I knew he wanted me, I didn’t think twice.
“There were a number of favourable situations,” he added. “The first was the coach: I knew Conte and I had no trouble finding myself in his football ideas.
“The second is the environment: I was very well received by my companions. The presence of a Spanish enclave, with Azplicueta, Alonso, Fabregas and Pedro, made things simpler.
“The third is my wife Alice Campello: she followed me to London.
