It’s a Manchester derby tomorrow but yet the excitement has been saddened by the news that Man United legend Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is leaving Old Trafford.
The 37-year-old, played 366 games for United, and is most notably remembered as the man who won the Champions League for the Red Devils in 1999.
He was forced to call time on his playing career in 2007 with a long-standing knee injury. Ever since, he was in-charge of United’s reserves team and has done a fantastic job with the young lads.
Solskjaer will now be heading back home to Norway after agreeing to take the reins of Molde.
