Ole Gunnar Solskjaer retires

Manchester United striker Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is retiring himself from professional soccer yesterday, 28th August 2007 after admitting defeat in his long-running battle with knee injuries.

After 11 years and 366 appearances for Man Utd, the 34-year-old has had to finally call it a day due to an ongoing knee injury. Solskjaer joined United for a bargain 1.5 million pounds from Norwegian side Molde.

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.

Although it is a sad day for Solskjaer, he appreciates he has had a fantastic career, scoring 126 goals overall.

Solskjaer has always been my all-time favourite player in soccerand definitely he is one of Old Trafford all-time greats. Cheers xoxo
