MANCHESTER UNITED have confirmed Ole Solskjaer will stay on
as a coach and ambassador. 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."
