| Ole Gunnar Solskjær (Norwegian pronunciation: ; born 26 February 1973) is a Norwegian professional football manager and former player, who was most recently manager of Beşiktaş. He spent the majority of his playing career with Manchester United and made 67 appearances for the Norway national team.
A forward, Solskjær began his career in his native Norway with Clausenengen, where he scored 115 goals in 109 league appearances over five seasons, helping the club earn promotion to the Norwegian Second Division in 1993. He then moved to Molde, newly promoted to the highest league in Norway, Tippeligaen, for the 1995 season. His goals helped Molde finish second and qualify for the UEFA Cup.
In July 1996, Solskjær joined Manchester United for a transfer fee of £1.5 million. Nicknamed "the Baby-faced Assassin", he made 366 appearances for United and scored 126 goals during a successful period for the club. Renowned as a "super-sub" for his knack of scoring late goals off the bench, he famously netted the dramatic injury-time winner against Bayern Munich in the 1999 UEFA Champions League final. That goal secured the treble for United, who had trailed 1–0 as the match entered stoppage time.
He remained a regular player for the side until a serious knee injury sustained in 2003 began to plague his career. Wikipedia text is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License - Full article |
