PROFILE

The Norwegian star is renowned for his tendency to score vital goals after coming off the substitutes' bench. He enjoyed an extended run in the first XI towards the end of the 2001/02 season, linking well with Ruud van Nistelrooy. Solskjaer's finest moment came in the 1999 Champions League final against Bayern Munich when he was brought on and scored the winning goal in injury time. A prime example of his peerless eye for goal came when he netted four goals in 10 minutes against Nottingham Forest in February 1999. Saw his 2004/05 campaign decimated by a knee injury but returned to make his first start after nearly 20 months out in the FA Cup tie at Burton Albion in January 2006, and scored his first senior goal for almost three years against Charlton Athletic seven months later.
