Will Frank Lampard go to Manchester United?

So, one of the big questions and stories of the new football year is who Frank Lampard will join  in the summer for a free transfer, seeing as his contract expires then and Chelsea have said they don't want to renew his contract, so who will he go to?

Lampard has made 576 appearances for Chelsea and equalled Kerry Dixon's record as the club's second-highest goalscorer, with 193 goals,when he scored a penalty against Southhampton recently.
Well, he has been linked by a number of the newspapers, and not just the Sun or some unreliable tabloid. The Times have actually mentioned it and BBC Sport also has too. Uefa's financial fair play means that Lampard's £150k wage per week was likely to either be cut or in the likely case now, completely gone. So Chelsea want to cut their wage bills (well Uefa do) so good ol' Frank is likely to leave Chelsea, but where will he go? First he was linked with a move away from  England, but now he is being more heavily linked to Manchester United and Old Trafford. Sir Alex has admired Lamps for a while now and seeing that Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs could possibly retire in the Summer, Frank Lampard would be an awesome replacement, especially for free!!

Frank hasn't been linked with a move to any other big name club, although Andrea Pirlo said it would be great to have him at Juventus but i really don't think that will happen. 

My verdict is that there is an 80% chance he will move to Manchester, to really put Manchester United up there with the top European Clubs. If this move did happen, then surely Lamps, Rooney and RVP would be a deadly combination. If you're reading this feel free to comment and let me know you're opinion on the situation, if you've read this far i appreciate it so thanks:)
