Lampard to make Chelsea return as Ten Hag faces criticism: FootballTransfer recap
What a day it’s been, with the Chelsea soap opera rolling on and taking another incredible twist with the news that Frank Lampard is on the verge of a return to Stamford Bridge.
Lampard, remember, was sacked by the Blues in 2020 with the second worst record of the Roman Abramovich era as a manager while he had Everton flirting with relegation before being sacked there earlier this term.
Before it became apparent that Lampard could take charge at Chelsea until the end of the season, the football transfer news had been dominated by who would be the next permanent manager at Stamford Bridge, with Luis Enrique and Julian Nagelsmann emerging as the leading candidates for the post.
Elsewhere, Manchester United’s summer transfer plans have come a little sharper into focus, though there was something of a distraction for manager Erik ten Hag, who faced unexpected criticism before watching his side record a 1-0 win over Brentford thanks to a single strike from Marcus Rashford.
Here’s the recap of what has been a quite remarkable day.
