I was fortunate enough to be one the 68,000 at Old Trafford yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed getting to see Ole Gunnar Solskjaer off. Of course, with Ole now working with the Reserves, there was no need for a tearful farewell. For me, Carlos Tevez was easily the best player on the park. Whilst Solskjaer showed [...]
In a day dedicated to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, with his testimonial against Espanyol being played tomorrow afternoon, we have looked at several of Solskjaer’s great moments with the club. As a player strongly associated with that magical night in 1999, it’s important to remember other imporant moments in his United career, such as the red [...]
A couple of years ago, I wrote an article about the amazing comebacks of Manchester United, whether that be winning the European Cup just 10 years after the Munich Air Disaster or their ability to win games they have no write to. I also focussed on the magnificent comeback of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who had [...]
It was a Football Factory moment. Replace Chelsea with United and Millwall with Liverpool, and the reaction is exactly the same. Result, the dippers in the Cup! These draws can’t be rivalled by any other match, when you get put up against your enemies in a winner takes it all scenario. Defeat means you’re out [...]
Nice natured Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was once on the receiving end of a red card after committing an intentional foul on Newcastle’s Robert Lee. As he walked towards the tunnel at Old Trafford, David Beckham ran over to give him a pat on the back. Solskjaer shrugged, “I had to do it,” he said. Before [...]
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was always a rare Manchester United player. Not just because he scored a goal that won us the European Cup, not just because he always took his starting place on the bench without grumbling and not just because he genuinely is just a bloody nice bloke. He is rare because he is [...]
Whilst Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has secured his future with United, currently working as the Reserve team coach, the fans are being given the chance to say goodbye to Solskjaer the player, after he retired from the game at the start of last season. Of all the players to grace the field at Old Trafford over [...]
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s name is still sung on a weekly basis at Old Trafford, after he retired from the game earlier this season, moving up to United’s coaching staff. He is a player all reds remember fondly, and one of the rare United players who’s earned the admiration and respect from rival fans (well, not [...]
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was one of the rare United players who fans of other teams admired. He was a hard worker with a great attitude to the game, a model professional. However rivals fondness of him often lessened when he was brought on off the bench against their team. Known as the “super sub” thanks [...]
It was a moving moment when Solskjaer walked on the pitch to say goodbye prior to kick off against Sunderland. He is adored by all at Old Trafford and has played a significant role in putting United in to the history books time and again. Of course his injury time winner against Bayern Munich in [...]
I know it’s delayed, but I thought the videos taken from the Sunderland game might be of interest. It was a great day seeing Keane return, and Solskjaer getting a chance to say goodbye. Legends. Keano Walks Out On To The Pitch “There’s only one Keano” Solskjaer Waving Goodbye “You are my Solskjaer”

Whenever I am introduced to a fellow red, I joke over the amount of time it will take for us to get started talking about 99. We seem to find it impossible to go a night without mentioning that night at the Nou Camp with a United fan we’ve just met. “Where were you?” “Yeh [...]
When looking at United this season, you would think the last thing we had to complain about was our strikeforce. The team has scored 63 goals in all competitions this season, which amounts to 32 games. An average of just under 2 goals a game is more than impressive, and it speaks volumes we’ve achieved [...]
My girlfriend is American, and is slowly beginning to learn and come to love United. I’m a passionate United fan, and when I talk about my team, my strong feelings for them are very apparent. I was trying to get across the point that there is something special about United, and that’s why the FC [...]
