Frank Lampard has revealed that he would have had 'no problem' joining A-League side Melbourne City on loan after signing for MLS outfit New York City FC.

The 36-year-old opted for the United States when he left Chelsea last summer, but decided to join Premier League champions Manchester City on loan for the remainder of the season.

"I wouldn't have had a problem with it," Lampard told Fox Sports. "I've never been to Australia so it would have been a great experience in itself there, but it just didn't work out.

"[Joining Man City] came along slightly after and I took the opportunity to carry on playing in the Premier League at a really competitive level."

Before the start of New York City's first season in MLS, David Villa was sent to Melbourne for a short stint.
