We will play Man United how we played Man City — Lampard
Chelsea interim coach Frank Lampard speaks on their clash against Manchester United.
Lampard took over as Chelsea manager for the first time in 2019 and he gave Mount his first-team debut.
Speaking in an interview before their clash against United, Lampard said, “It's a hard one for me to comment on because I'm not inside Mason's head and from the club's point of view my role is clearly what it is.
“In the practical sense, it's completely between both sides on that front. I'm not surprised because this is football. Does everyone know that I really like Mason Mount as a lad and as a football player? Yes, sure, of course, they do.
“I wish him the best personally and sitting here with my Chelsea top on now, I've seen what Mason has delivered at this club. But we'll see.

Fans slam £62m Chelsea star for posting indecent video on social media
Mykhailo Mudryk posted an indecent video on social media that got fans coming after him in the comment section.
Still speaking, Lampard said, “I think, to be fair to this club, in the last few years particularly we've seen the hard work of the academy for a long, long time, people like (academy head) Neil Bath and (head of youth development) Jim Fraser.
“(Players) have come through and been very good and now it's delivered in terms of people that are affecting the team, or have been sold on for big money.
“That's been a real positive so I think it's important we try and keep that feeling that younger players can see a pathway to get into the Chelsea team and play for the team they will grow to love, which is Mason, which is Reece James etc.
“Of course in an ideal world, those players stay with the club, but again in modern football, it isn't always that clear.'
Chelsea are set to face Manchester United at Old Trafford today in a mouth-watering game as the Blues look to bounce back from the defeat at the Etihad on Sunday.
