Frank Lampard is ‘happy’ with Hakim Ziyech and Kai Havertz after the new signings copped some criticism.

Ex-Everton man Tim Cahill had a pop at them for dribbling too much but boss Lamps isn’t worried.

In his virtual press conference after the 0-0 draw at Old Trafford, Lampard said: “I am least worried about the front end of the pitch with the players that we have there.

“It is normal that it will take some time for relationships [to build]. For when we have got to put the ball in behind, the ball into feet, clearly these things are going to take time to build. The reason we brought Timo and Kai into the club is to add to the quality we already have here.

“Hakim Ziyech is looking like he is getting close to starting a game with his fitness. I have no worries about that.

“The last bit didn’t happen for us today. It is normal, that happens in football but I am very happy with the players.”
