Ole Gunnar Solskjær born 26 February 1973 is a Norwegian football manager and former player who is the newly appointed caretaker of English club Manchester United. As a player, he spent most of his career playing as a forward for United.
He was regarded as a “super sub” for his trait of coming off the substitute bench to score late goals. Solskjær’s defining moment in football came in injury time of the 1999 UEFA Champions League Final, where he scored the winning last-minute goal against Bayern Munich, completing a remarkable comeback and winning The Treble for United. Before the century was up, a biography was written on him.

So many fans are showing their ignorance; Solskjær has a decade's worth of coaching experience. He took Molde from 11th to 1st in his FIRST season and won the league the season after. Rosenborg won 19 titles in 25 years. He stopped that.
Have some patience; he hasn't even begun. pic.twitter.com/JHgLqpeQMs
