Joe Cole explains how Chelsea and Frank Lampard have put Manchester United's youth policy in the shade

Former Chelsea midfielder Joe Cole has insisted the Blues’ youngsters are much better than Manchester United’s current crop. Reece James, Tammy Abraham, Fikayo Tomori, Mason Mount and Callum Hudson-Odoi have all established themselves as first-team regulars. Given the transfer ban imposed on Lampard, the success he's had with such a young group of inexperienced players is remarkable. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has tried to implement a similar philosophy at Manchester United but he hasn’t enjoyed the same success. "I don't think you'll ever get the perfect storm which happened when Fergie [Sir Alex Ferguson] brought through all the young players through at Manchester United," Cole told BT Sport. "They were all local lads and then they went on to win things, there are a mix and a blend to have for that and I think Chelsea are the closest club to achieving it. "The players coming through at Manchester United are good players but I don't see any Callum Hudson-Odois, no Mason Mounts but they are good players. Credit Manchester United for developing them."
