Bayern Munich’s Incredible One Sentence Reaction To Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Manchester United Appointment

Former Manchester United striker Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has returned to the club as caretaker manager following the sacking of Jose Mourinho.

Sir Alex Ferguson would regularly summon the Norwegian striker from the bench if his side needed a goal, and more often than not he obliged.

Solskjaer regularly turned a United match in their favour, but now he has been called upon to turn around their entire season.

The 45-year-old has been confirmed as United’s caretaker manager until the end of the season following Jose Mourinho‘s exit on Tuesday.

Solskjaer was in his second stint in charge of Molde in his homeland and has also managed in the Premier League with Cardiff.

That did not go to plan, though, with Solskjaer failing to save the Welsh club from relegation before he was axed the following September.

Nevertheless, Solskjaer is the man the United hierarchy have turned to as the club bid to make up lost ground on the Premier League’s top four.

Solskjaer is revered at Old Trafford, having played for the Red Devils between 1996 and 2007, and knows all about the club’s philosophy.

He scored 126 goals in 366 appearances, many after coming on as a substitute. Known as the ‘baby-faced assassin’, Solskjaer once climbed off the bench and scored four times in an 8-1 win over Nottingham Forest.

Solskjaer’s most memorable goal came during the 1999 Champions League final against Bayern Munich when, as a substitute, he scored United’s dramatic injury-time winner.

Ferguson apparently claimed that Solskjaer was such an effective substitute because he watched the game from the bench more intently than other players.
