New Chelsea boss Frank Lampard insists Jose Mourinho will fight back.

Lampard says the former Manchester United and Chelsea manager will be a winner again.

“I get defensive about him because I think his record speaks for itself," said the former Derby manager.

“In the current era, with the media and social media, everything is blown up out of all proportion.

“But when you strip away all the talk, you see Jose is a manager who has won everything and who has been incredibly successful.

“So I get defensive because I worked under him and have a good relationship with him. It's very easy to make judgements from the outside and maybe ­Manchester United didn't end the way he would have wanted it to.

“But he's going to come back and I'm sure he'll be successful again."
