Solskjaer: Why Chelsea youngsters are better than Man Utd’s

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjær has confessed that Chelsea academy graduates are stronger than their United’s counterparts.

Ahead of their Carabao Cup quarterfinal clash at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday the Norwegian confirmed that Lampard has better youngsters at his disposal.

Solskjær further explained why he believes Chelsea youngsters are better than United’s.

‘Chelsea are a very exciting team,’ he said.

‘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.

‘Axel Tuanzebe has missed the last couple of games, but he has been out on loan (at Aston Villa last season) and you can see the benefit.

‘I think Chelsea’s young players benefit from that now. They are a mature young team.’
