Frank Lampard responds to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s comments about Chelsea’s youngsters

Chelsea manager Frank Lampard has responded to Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s comments about the Blues youngsters. Solskjaer claimed Chelsea youngsters benefit is that they are more experienced due to successful loan moves to the Championship, but Lampard disagrees with the Norwegian. United boss said: "It (Chelsea) is a very exciting team. Frank has got players that have been on loan for one or two seasons in the Championship. The difference between my youngsters is that they are almost stepping right now onto the scene." Lampard responded by saying: "I don't know, you go case-by-case. Rashford's a young player, he's got how many caps for his country? Tuanzebe went on loan last year and did fantastic in the Championship. Dan James has come in and been a fantastic signing for them. "I think we've all got players with relative experience or not. I think Man United have got loads of good players. In terms of the loan system, there probably is some credit. The loans need to be the right loans, need to be the right clubs. I was fortunate to have Mason and Fikayo last year, they were good for me and hopefully, I was good for them. "That's how the loan system works at its best, when you're talking about players with really good potential.” Manchester United and Chelsea meet at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night in the battle for a quarter-final spot in the Carabao Cup.
