Solskjaer has remarkable skills as a manager

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer - Manchester United fans will always have a special place in their hearts for Solksjaer, who scored the winning goal for the Red Devils against Bayern Munich in the Champions League final of 1999.

The Norwegian has scored well over 200 goals in his entire career and is regarded as one of Manchester United’s greatest signings. The ‘baby faced assassin’ had a successful stint as United’s reserve manager, where he won the reserve league in 2009, and is now back in his country, managing Molde.

The 40-year-old has already made his mark at Molde winning two Tippeligaen titles in quick succession in 2011 and 2012. Sir Alex Ferguson heaped praises on his former striker and expects him to return to Manchester United in the future.
