But Please dont take my Solskjaer away
seems like alot of the lads are still ill and it doesnt look too good at the moment!!
Hopefully we will be able to put out a decent side tomorrow against citeh
does he really have to go!!
SAF: “We’ve no idea (who will play). We’ve still got some out with flu and sent some home. We’re not in a good position, but we carry on.”
Watched programme about Ole’s first years at OT on MUTV. Even at that early stage he already had class written all over him. At one time Spurs were showing interest in him. This after he lost his place due to injury and the arrival of Dwight Yorke. Yet, he decided to stay because he wanted to prove a point. And, oh boy, didn’t he do just that. As time goes by Barcellona 99 gets sweeter and sweeter. Thank you Ole. Wherever you go you’ll still be my sunshine.
20LEgend
This could be good. If he can get some valuable experience and guide Molde into Europe, then who knows in 2-3 years time, he could be in the running to take over the boss. This could be the perfect molding (pun intended!) for Ole!
Is his choice so we should get behind him. Although i feel sad he has to leave. But im sure he will go back.. Good luck and thank you for everything you have done.
you are my Solskjaer
my Ole Solskjaer
you make me happy
when skies are grey
126 of the greatest finishes youll ever see
The term ‘legend’ is so easily spouted about these days, I mean ffs sake John Terry is even labelled as such, what a joke albeit by his own fans who have no clue what a true legend is all about…
They do not come any bigger than Ole as far as I am concerned, he ranks up there with the likes of Best, Charlton, Law, Robson, Giggsy, Scholes and co…… Legends are rare but at United we have been lucky over the years to have a vast share of them…. Bloody loved the guy and still do, the absolute definition of loyalty… What a player, what a human being what a man…. By no doubt the best natural finishers the game has ever seen.
“Beckham… into Sheringham… and Solskjær has won it!”
Thanks Ole.
You’ll always be my sunshine….
Whoa.. almost sounded gay there for a minute *almost….
But anyway… Thanks for your loyalty Ole.
I’ll support you in anything you do…
20Legend.
Our paths will cross again.
What A great Video! Thanks Scott!
legend
heartbreaking
Chichartito – look at Ole for inspiration and as a role model. Him with Giggs, Scholes & Neville are the last of the ‘loyal’ kind.
I wish you nothing but good luck for your future, Ole. Take care.
Farewell but not goodbye to a true legend, and my personal favourite ever player.
With Ole it wasn’t all about goals. He is a legend for stuff like this too:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBrFlDpQudY
@Callum
Yeah, same for me. He wasn’t the best player I’ve seen at United, but he is my personal favourite too. He could pick out any square in the net with the ball. He was that good.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZmXOfasRxA
this is how heart breaking it is for ole to not play for united again
Costas
Its The “I had too” to beckham in that clip tyhat makes him the man
@GHTT
Yeah exactly. Newcastle have yet to beat us at OT by the way. Thanks to that tackle.
Costas, that brings me to tears… He’ll do anything for United…
A true LEGEND….
Who would ever do that for us?
LU: Who’s not gay for Ole?
he is my hero growing up…
it will be the saddest day ever when he do leave…
no harm feeling about phelan…could we just swap ole to assistant manager now…
owh pls dont take our solskjaer away!!!!
@Callum
Good point
Do you seriously think Rooney can be this good? I doubt so.
We are missing this deadly finishing, composure and the impact of his late introduction into the game so dearly.
You will always be sunshine. You have my consent to go there, but come back later as our manager please.
brilliant..
Wonderful video thanks Scott. Its strange that things always turn out the best for Manchester United in the end. Had we have signed Shearer then Ole maybe wouldn’t have come to OT and personally I feel Ole is the better player for OT. Ole is a pipo Inzaghi, theres a willingness never to stop playing, can use either feet and draws the ball to his feet in scrappy play so he can bury the bastard thing. He runs all day and understands what it is to be in a squad.
As for if he’d be a United manager of the future, i believe he could well be. Hes not ready yet and i think even he admits that but who could start off with better credentials. Played under the great man Sir Alex, was around when all the greats and success was going on. Cult status for never giving up and burying the crouts in Barcelona. He’d have the respect of any young player coming through at United for what hes done, not only acchievements on the field but for his temperament whilst waiting for his chance. Hes also not so big an ego that he would need to impose at the detriment of the United way, his own ideas ala Roy Keane or Mourinho. Hes also had managers for Norway that have given him a good perspective of the other end of football and his job within the reserves and youth system at OT. He needs to get out there and manage and maybe we can hope Sir Alex can last another 10 years untill Ole is ready.
@Berbatov9
It is happen mate today is that day and I dont know why you would but If anyone wishes to follow Ole’s press conference in Norway,in about 90 minutes, it’s here: http://nrksport.no/fotball/eliteserien/1.7373518
Thanks for now, Ole. He’ll be back, I reckon this is his test in “first team” football, even though the reserves would kick Moldes ass any day..
@MyCowIsTheBest
With due respect, please don’t stain this thread with his name.
Please just show respect for the one true LEGEND that is OLE…
My favorite piece of play form the Legend that is OLE isnt the goals (although the winner in 99 was fucking amazing), for me it was when we played Newcastle and I cant remember who it was that broke for them but there was no one close to them except Ole and he chased them down, took them clean out, stood up and walked before the red was even shown and he left to a standing ovation!! That was how much playing for Utd meant to him, he deserves a statue outside OT just for the love he showed our great club!!
@Gee
Costas post the youtube link a few post above…
Very sad to see him go, but he was always going to leave at some point. He was never going to spend his whole career with the reserves, nor was he going to be given a coaching/assistant role with the first team without previous first hand experience. Hopefully he has a very successful time at Molde, and return to OT someday.. thanks for all the memories, Ole. Legend in every sense of the word.
@Lovin’ United sorry i didnt mean to. What i really mean is, Rooney is the best striker we got now. So does our best striker, or any other striker even in the league have the potential to be that good? Solskjaer’s touches made Berbatov’s touches look plain.
@ Lovin’ United
LOL trust Costas to beat me to it!!
I think anybody that remembers that day will forever hold Ole in their hearts!!
@ MyCowIsTheBest
No worries…
Legend!
OLE will always be my favorite United legend and I love him… i do i do i do!
(let’s hope he comes back to us)
All the best in your future endeavours Ole..Thank you for all that you have done for ManUtd..
@Gee
“I think anybody that remembers that day will forever hold Ole in their hearts!!”
Yup… it did to me…
Still can’t believe such a player exists.
He is one of my favourite player of all time.
I think it’s time for us to let Ole go
Because one day there will be a time to come back
No one can doubt though that as players come and go – he was Manchester United through and through
Rather have a Solskjaer than a Rooney any day of the week
Shame he isn’t 10 years younger…
To be honest, I missed seeing the early Ole, but he was one of my favourites. Him and Ruud were two of the biggest reasons why I fell in love with Utd (Giggsy was probably the biggest). This video opens my eyes to how great he really was…simply amazing! All the best, Ole. Thank you, and godbless.
Don’t worry guys chicharito will always be reminding us of 20legend .But OLE plz come back soon!! we will miss u!!
fanstatic lads for all wishing Ole the best on his next adventure. this is what supporting United is all about. Bye bye Ole, u muz come back again. i’m very sad. strange, dont remember feeling this way for all the greats who have left us in the last 20years.
‘Ole…. Ole Ole Ole…..Ole…Ole’
His movement off the ball to get into the most dangerous position was fabulous, coupled with the power and precision in his finishing made him so dangerous. looking at the goals, you wonder how often the goalie was left with a chance when he shot?
pity there aren’t a few more like him at present.
As Goat brought up, one of the best things Shearer ever did in his career was turn us down. It opened the road for 20Legend.
One Norwegian departs, another arrives… http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/2896/premier-league/2010/11/09/2204998/new-manchester-united-signing-mats-moller-daehli-is-a-little-bit-
His coach says he is a bit like Xavi, and a bit like Messi…big words for a 15 yr old? Anybody knows anything about him?
Off-topic, Nani and Giggs both likely to appear tomorrow? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/manchester-united/8118527/Manchester-United-manager-Sir-Alex-Ferguson-wheels-out-the-big-guns-for-derby.html
here’s a piece on the changing equations in the Manchester Derby, along with a look at the top 5 derbies of recent times:
http://www.thehardtackle.com/index.php/manchester-united%e2%80%99s-corner-battle-of-the-m60/
I’m watching the press conference live, and he just signed for Molde! He’s takin Richard Hartis with him, and Mark Dempsey is also part of his team..
And now that he’s gone there is a tear in my eye
Thank you for everything Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, you will never be forgotten.
You cannot teach defiance you either have it or you don’t.
The number 20 shirt and the one who proudly wore it was one of the greatest beacons of defiance within Manchester United.
Come back when you are ready to come back we are all waiting.
He’s still calling Fergie “boss”
He was alright…
But I’d of expected a hell of a lot more for the money we paid for him
Get that right foot insured. There’s gold in that foot. ” Our fans are the best in the world. You sir are a proper legend, good luck. Can United score, they always score, we’ll never die!
@Long John O’Shea
I hope that was sarcasm, lol.
@ Costas,
I should bloody hope so as well
@Long John O’Shea
Ah ok. Cool then.
For a minute I started wondering what’s good enough for 2 million pounds, lol.
@Long John O’Shea
That’s one hell of a sarcasm…
LEGEND!
Coolest, most deadly finisher ever at United – headers, left foot, right foot, long range, short range, poacher’s goals – was there anything he couldn’t do?
Oh, and the tackle against Newcastle wasn’t bad either
Nice juxtaposition – right beneath the 2 tributes to Ole is the “Lamps 4 Wazza 4eva IDST” article. Both deadly strikers, both once loved by their fans, but I’ll only be sorry to see one go.
Fuckin lethal
Agree with all the positive accolades. Wonderful signing, wonderful player, wonderful person by all accounts. Come back to us soon Ole Gunnar Solskaer!
Good luck Ole, and thanks for the memories!!
Ole, please don’t go. I love you very much.
Great video, great player. I hope he’ll be back. He was one of the smartest players I ever saw. Would come of the bench and know -exactly- what to do, and do it. I still remember listening to the radio back at uni when he came off the bench against Forest with twenty minutes to play and scored four. Such a great reader of the game. I think he’ll be a spectacular manager.
Great Player and a Great Man…
You will be missed Ole
Hope to see you back soon and all the best for whatever you do in future.
Wow.. Thanks Costas for bringing back the memories of the tackle in the game against toons. One of the moment which will definatly make you fall in Love with Ole, if you already haven’t.
Ole might not have been the fastet, or the strongest, or the most flamboyant striker but there he had three key ingridients:
He knew where the goal was
He knew where to stand
He had two great feet
All the best of luck to you and I hope we’ll se you at Old Trafford in a couple of years!
Thank you Sir. You are always at Old Trafford. We shall support Molde as you spread the joy that is Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Thanks for all your goals – Ole!!!
Special thanks for Barcelona 1999 – you’re a legend, come home sooner rather than later!!!!!
u r r solkjaer…………………gd luck ole
Don’t Worry He’ll Come Back …. http://www.theunitedreligion.com/2010/11/dont-worry-hell-come-back.html
Chills down my spine.. tears down my face
2OLEgend
Without doubt the best ‘natural’ finisher the game has ever and will ever see and I do not care who you through into the mix of this debate, right foot, left foot, headers, volleys, tap ins, always in the right place, sliding in goals… what a LEGEND………….. You will ALWAYS be in our hearts OLE
@ Costas
Loved the link you posted on the tackle vs Newcastle……… You could actually tell he said to Becks ‘I had to’ Bloody brilliant
Na CedarsDevil, Jimmy greaves hands down the best finisher from these shores any way.
willie
fair point, lets keep it from the early 70′s onwards otherwise i would through in Law and Violet into the equation! LOL
You can throw anyone in to the mix lol. My old man says Greavesy was the best goalscorer there’s ever been, but in my generation, I’d go with Van Basten.
3 mins 50 secs – Hair standing on the back of my neck moment! Great player, forever loved by all at United. Always a place at Old Trafford for you Ole, come home soon.
What a montage, pure dead brilliant.
Anybody who is not smiling like crazy through that aint a United fan.
A man who could score in so many different ways and made it look easy. The sign of class.
The heart of a lion, no fear.
The molde was broken when they made him!
Nice.
I think it’s fair to say Ole knew where the goal was….
A wonderful player and a fine man. You’re welcome back at Old Trafford any time, Ole. T-ra for now!
Ole’s story at United.
http://www.unitedzone.info/content/ole-gunnar-solskjaer-true-united-legend-151/
OLEGEND !!!
Wish we had a guy like this in our squad. Whaaat a goalscorer!!
Come back Ole, you are United all the way.
OLEgend!!!!
If you guys looked at the video, it just shows the commitment and love that this guy have for UNITED.
OLE is always there when there is a rebound or save from the keepers or defenders.
I don’t see anyone runs all the way like him anymore.
UNITED strikers should really learn from this legend.
I think if Ole was playing today everybody arnd would be talking Giggs Scholes Neville Ole….Legend….people like him comes once in a blue moon….You are my Solskjaer….
Saw THAT goal and got goose bump…
Can we start a movement for Ole to be knighted? too early?
