Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to get final glimpse of how Glazers let him down at Man Utd

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer hopes to celebrate his birthday by watching Manchester United win the Carabao Cup against Newcastle this Sunday - but will definitely be reminded of what he missed out on whilst in charge of the side.

The former Red Devils boss was sacked 16 months ago after a dismal start to the 2021-22 season, ultimately paving the way for current manager Erik ten Hag to lead a resurgence at Old Trafford. Although his Dutch successor hasn't bettered him yet by winning a trophy, there are major suggestions from this term that Ten Hag will be the man to lead United back to the top.

Solskjaer spent nearly three years trying to do exactly that and hoped a man who Ten Hag's team will face on Sunday would help bring the glory days back to Old Trafford - that being Kieran Trippier. Sought after by the Norwegian gaffer throughout 2021, the Glazer family ultimately wouldn't cough up the funds to sign him from Atletico Madrid.
