Frank Lampard, Derby County manager, said he was shocked

This is first season of Lampard, triumphed against former
boss Jose Mourinho despite Marouane Fellaini’s late headed equaliser.
What a performance. “To go down early at Old Trafford and play as well as they did was
superb. We had the personality to take penalties and play the way we
did. I am proud to be a manager.

are incredible. To go against world-class players and play that way,
it’s right up there,” Lampard said to Sky Sports.
