Description
Ole Gunnar Solskj�r is a Norwegian football manager and former player. As a player, he spent most of his career playing as a forward for Manchester United.
Before his arrival in England, Solskj�r played for the Norwegian clubs Clausenengen and Molde. He joined Manchester United in 1996 for a transfer fee of �1.5 million. Nicknamed "The Baby-faced Assassin", he played 366 times for United, and scored 126 goals during a successful period for the club. He was regarded as a "super sub" for his trait of coming off the substitute bench to score late goals. Solskj�r'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.
In 2007, Solskj�r announced his retirement from football after failing to recover from a serious knee injury. However, he remained at Manchester United in a coaching role as well as in an ambassadorial capacity. In 2008, Solskj�r became the club's reserve team manager.
