Paul Scholes compares Frank Lampard decision to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Manchester United return

Paul Scholes has likened Frank Lampard's arrival as the new interim Chelsea manager to that of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at Manchester United.

Chelsea confirmed the appointment of Lampard until the end of the season earlier this week, with the former midfielder coming in for a second stint in charge at Stamford Bridge after being sacked by Everton earlier this season. The Blues sacked Graham Potter after falling into the bottom half of the table, but remain in the Champions League with a quarter-final clash against Real Madrid on the horizon.

Solskjaer made a similar return in December 2018, taking over from Jose Mourinho in a caretaker role at United. The Norwegian was initially due to return to Molde at the end of the campaign, but 14 wins from 19 games saw him handed an offer for a permanent role.
