Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had amusing encounter with Man Utd women's captain Katie Zelem

Manchester United women's captain Katie Zelem has recounted a bizarre encounter with former Reds manager and player Ole Gunnar Solskjaer from her childhood.

The midfielder, now 26, was at United's school of excellence as a kid and said she was able to watch the senior men's team train at Carrington. A huge United fan, young Zelem was in awe of watching stars like Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo and Roy Keane up close.

But there was one star from Sir Alex Ferguson's side she managed to blank, leading to an awkward encounter; a man who later took the managerial hot seat at Old Trafford himself - Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Zelem revealed the hilarious meeting between the two on the latest episode of Sky Sports' Inside The WSL.
