shame

 

[Mandieta6]

Damn, I hope he comes back for a 'last match' sort of thing. Great player.

 

[Filipower]

who can forget 1999

 

[Mandieta6]

2nd footballing memory I have.

 

[theo]

really sad, after all the injuries he went through I thought he finally got rid of the nightmare.

 

[nor-rbk]

Well, it was about time really. He's had magnificent career, but with so many injuries the last years it's a wise decision. He's been a great ambassador for both Manchester United and the Norwegian national team for many, many years. He will be remembered as one of Norway's greatest players ever. Thank you Solskjær.

 

[Kulixs]

Wow. I feel like crying. What a guy, what a player. He scored the most important goal in our history. I hope the club offers him a coaching position, since he is supposed to be a potential manager by Alex Ferguson's opinion. He also helped Man Utd in identyfying Magnus Wolff Eikrem as a youth signing.

20Legend....always be remembered

Thank you for the memories

Great player and hope he continues to work with Man Utd in any role possible....damn the injuries

 

[MaSsiVe]

fucking legend.

 

[farmboy]

if anyone deserves retirement*, he does. he always busted his arse for United, and came up with all the right goals at all the right times, and the last years can't have been easy for him.
* not that he's actually retiring: I believe he gets an automatic slot on their coaching staff now, doesn't he?

edit:
added thought: how stupid do we look now for offloading smithy? with rooney injured, saha as fragile as chinaware, and solskjaer retired, we could really use him up front....

 

[Klobb]

Legend, but i'll never forgive him.

 

[coach]

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

Absolute Legend.

 

[Help?]

That's a sad day for football and especially Manchester United. He was such a great character. One of those players that the opposition would feel ashamed to tackle hard.

 

[MaSsiVe]

Legend, but i'll never forgive him.

 

[Lean]

Great, great, great player. Hope he remains in the game in a coaching position or something.

 

[vitu]

this is really sad...I wish him the best...what a great player

 

[garlei]

Sad day for united fans, sad day for football.

I believe Ole has always been offered the position as ambassador for United.
