Former Chelsea assistant manager Ray Wilkins believes that midfielder Frank Lampard would flourish under Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United.

Former Chelsea assistant manager Ray Wilkins has backed midfielder Frank Lampard to join Manchester United.

The 34-year-old's current contract with Chelsea runs out at the end of the season.

"He'll want to continue to win and play at a high level, and there's no higher level than Old Trafford," BBC Sport quotes Wilkins as saying.

"You have the master of utilising the older player in Sir Alex Ferguson so I think it would be a tremendous move for Frank and a good one for Manchester United as well.

"He's getting older but the knowledge of how to play the experience he's gained over the years will always stand him in good stead. You only have to see the performances [Ryan] Giggs and [Paul] Scholes themselves have put in over the last few years, and they are four years older than Frank."

Lampard's agent Steve Kutner has already said that the England international will leave Chelsea in the summer.
