The striker is hanging up his boots after an illustrious career at Old Trafford. But chief executive David Gill today said that United will retain the services of Solskjaer.Gill said: “Ole has provided us all with some exceptional memories during his time here at the club. “Nobody will ever forget his dramatic winner in Barcelona, but much more than that his dedication and professionalism make him one of the great role models in football. “Ole will be dearly missed as a player, but will go on to serve the club as an ambassador and a valuable coach.”
Solskjaer's dad reckons it was "impossible" for his son to continue playing. Oyvind Solskjaer has revealed that the striker's latest knee injury has forced his son into a pre-mature exit from the game.
He said: "He wanted to keep playing. "This is sad for us, and for him, that he has to quit. "He'd hoped to recover 100 per cent, but now something has happened in his knee that makes it impossible for him to continue. "But he believed himself that he still had a lot to offer on the football field, if he'd just recover."
