Man United and Chelsea at same stage of development says Frank Lampad
The Norwegian was propelled into the job on a caretaker basis last December following Jose Mourinho's sacking and won 14 of his first 17 matches in charge.
But United's form turned after he was handed the top job on a permanent basis as they ended the 2018-19 campaign with one win in nine matches, leading to some questioning the decision to hand him the role full-time.
Like United, Chelsea have been written off for the title by many before a ball has been kicked this season after losing star player Eden Hazard to Real Madrid.
