Breaking news: Mourinho's comments about Lukaku show how Chelsea and Manchester United need to approach him,after his comments showed he is a traitor to both clubs .

 Chelsea are in the midst of a dilemma

 with Romelu Lukaku, yet comments 

made by former boss Jose Mourinho could

 help the Blues navigate through these

 troubled waters.

Lukaku, 28, stunned the club last week

 after telling Italian media of his frustrations

 at Stamford Bridge, just months after

 rejoining the club in a £97.5million move

 from Inter Milan.

The Belgian was dropped from Thomas

 Tuchel's matchday squad for Sunday's 

2-2 draw with Liverpool and the German 

revealed he would hold crunch talks 

with the striker over his comments.

Yet the Blues could do worse than pay 

heed to comments made by Mourinho in 

order to steady the ship. The Portuguese

 managed Lukaku at Manchester United 

and last summer reflected on how he 

believes the Belgian should be managed.

'[In his first spell] at Chelsea, he was 

still a kid. At Manchester United, he 

was still developing. At Inter he became 

the top man,' Mourinho told The Times

 in June.

'He became loved - a big love from the

 supporters, love from teammates,

 great relations with the coach.

‘He's a big guy, physically so strong, but

 there is also a kid inside who needs that

 love, needs that support, needs to 

feel important.'

Chelsea boss Tuchel has a history 

of falling out with players, having made 

young striker Emre Mor crawl on all fours 

in training in a bid to teach the Turk 

to work harder.

But he also has a track record of 

handling star players with care. He 

did not suffer any major fallouts with 

PSG stars Kylian Mbappe and Neymar

, and also got the best out of Pierre-

Emerick Aubameyang at Borussia 

Dortmund.

The Arsenal star was stripped of the

 captaincy last month and exiled from

 first team training, yet Tuchel revealed

 how he handled the Gabonese 

when he committed disciplinary 

breaches in Germany.

'Maybe he [Aubameyang] arrived five

 minutes late on the training ground, 

that can happen with him! But if he 

does this, he is in a hurry, he excuses, 

he feels sorry, he has still a smile 

on his face,' Tuchel said.

'When we wanted him to be on time

, we told him the meeting was 10.45am

 when the meeting was 11am so there 

was a good chance he would be there 

with everyone else.

'It's not the biggest problem. But don't 

forget that he was also a top, top 

professional who never missed any 

training session.'
