Wilkins: United should pounce for Lamps

Former Chelsea assistant manager Ray Wilkins has branded the club “wrong” not to offer Lampard a new contract.

And Wilkins even suggested United should pounce for the England star, amid reports in Italy that Lazio had joined the race to sign him.

Wilkins told talkSPORT: “This is the club’s decision to let him go – it’s nothing to do with Rafa Benitez – and in my opinion it’s the wrong decision.
