With new life breathed into Manchester United, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer urges club to move with the times

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is inextricably linked with Manchester United. He gained plaudits in his 11-year stint as a United forward, before serving the club as an ambassador, reserve team manager and manager.

As a player, Solskjaer was an integral part of a powerful side which won trophies galore. The Norwegian built his reputation as a ‘super sub’, for his knack of coming on and scoring crucial goals as the clock wound down.

Fans will remember an incredible outing in 1999, when Solskjaer smashed four goals in 12 minutes against Nottingham Forest. Brought on by manager Alex Ferguson to replace Dwight Yorke, he powered United to an 8-1 win.
