Super Sub Ole Gunnar Solskjaer retires

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has brought the curtains down on his playing career with Manchester United - but his Old Trafford days are not over yet.

After 11 years and 366 appearances for the club he has had to finally call it a day due to an ongoing knee injury.

Solskjaer joined united for £1.5million from Norwegian side Molde and literally immortalized himself after he famously scored the winner in the Champions League final against Bayern Munich to help the club win the treble in 1999.

The 34-year-old even scored 11 goals last season as United again won the Barclays Premier League crown, but he has never fully overcome his knee problem.

However, the man famously nicknamed 'the baby-faced assassin', will remain at United in a coaching capacity and will continue to represent the club as an official ambassador.

Here’s a tribute to the jersey No. 20 Legend, The Super Sub, The Baby-Faced Assassin – Ole Gunnar Solskjaer:
