Ole Gunnar Solskjaer claims he is savouring every day as a
professional, having finally shaken off his injury troubles.
The striker struggled to overcome a knee injury for the best part
of three years and Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has
admitted he felt Solskjaer's career was over.
Solskjaer never faltered in his bid to return and is finally being
rewarded with a regular run in the team.
The striker netted twice against Newcastle on Sunday and is happy
to be playing once again.
"I have never complained too much," he told Sky Sports News. "It
gave me a taste of how life will be after you stop playing.
"You spend time with the family, but this is a bonus to play
football again and I will look forward to it."
Solskjaer admits that, during his darker days, he contemplated
retirement but is now on an upward curve.
"Sometimes I did [think about retirement], but I always wanted to
get back playing and that is the most important thing.
"I just want to do my best and today I was lucky enough to get a
couple."
Solskjaer's brace against The Magpies lifted United to the summit
of The Premiership and the Norwegian says it is nice to be on
top.
"No matter what time in the season it is, it is great to be at the
top of the league," he noted.
"It is more important to be top when it comes to May, but we will
sit there for a couple of weeks now."
