Lampard: Ronaldo is irreplaceable

Frank Lampard is one happy chap now that Cristiano Ronaldo has moved over to Real Madrid - he reckons it leaves the title wide open for Chelsea to take.

Having seen United slump to a 1-0 defeat at Burnley, when the Reds lacked any creativity, Lampard believes that United are missing Ronny (as any team would!)

When asked about Ronaldo, he said: "You don't replace him, apart from with Messi - he is probably the only player you could do it with.

"With Ronaldo, the amount of goals he scores, the amount of times you flicked on the telly and saw he had scored and they had won 1-0 or 2-0.
Difficult

"It is very difficult to replace him. I saw Ferguson say that himself and I don't think he will look to replace him. He will look to make the team as strong as a whole by not having him.

"That is the only thing they can do. That is probably one of our big plusses this year - we didn't lose our big players."
