Chelsea midfield REJECT refuses to rule out Man Utd move.

Chelsea’s decision not to offer players over the age of 30-years new contracts could see them lose the likes of Frank Lampard and Ashley Cole to rival clubs in the Premier League.

Manchester United have been heavily linked with a move to 34-year old midfield maestro Frank Lampard after he was told he will not be  given a new deal at Stamford Bridge once his contract runs out in the summer.

According to The Sun, Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson is convinced the veteran midfielder, can still deliver at the highest level.

Fergie is a long-time admirer of the England international and is reported to have tried to sign him before he joined the Blues.

But it’s highly unlikely that a deal will be struck during the winter transfer window with the player determined to see out the remaining part of his Chelsea contract.

The Red Devils are reported to be willing to offer Lampard a one year deal in the summer with the promise of another depending on his performance.

Chelsea are keen to trim their £191m wage bill and Lampard who is at £150,000 a week and turning 35-years has been targeted for the chop despite still playing a key role at the club.

Lampard has also attracted interest from MLS in the US and the Chinese super League.
