Ole Gunnar Solskjær (sinh 26 tháng 2, 1973) là một cầu thủ người Na Uy hiện đang đá cho Manchester United (từ tháng 7 năm 1996). Before he moved to England, he played part time for Third Division Norwegian Clausenengen F.K., later moving to Norwegian Premier League Molde F.K. in 1994. He is married and has two children. Solskjær is 1.78 m tall and weighs 74 kg. He currently wears the number 20 shirt for Manchester United. He is a patron of the Manchester United Supporters' Trust (formerly Shareholders United)

The most famous instance of this occurred in the European Cup Final of 1999 at the Nou Camp in Barcelona.

[sửa] Tiểu sử

[sửa] Ra mắt Manchester United

When Alex Ferguson failed to sign Alan Shearer, he settled for this then-unknown Norwegian striker. Solskjær had scored 31 goals in 42 matches for Molde F.K. in the Norwegian Premier League, and he did not disappoint at the start of his United career, scoring six minutes into his debut as a substitute against Blackburn in the Premiership in the 1996-97 season.

Solskjær scored 18 Premiership goals for United in his first season, helping United win the title in the last weeks of the season. The British media nicknamed him the "Baby-Faced Assassin" because of his youthful looks and his deadly finishing. He will perhaps be best remembered as a "super-sub", having earned wide acclaim for a remarkable habit of coming into matches late on as a substitute and scoring vital goals. One of his most impressive feats was coming off the bench to score four goals in the last twelve minutes of United's 8-1 thrashing of Nottingham Forest.

[sửa] Peak of career

Ole enjoyed life at Old Trafford and decided to stay even a number of other clubs showed interest in the player in 1998, including Spurs, which made an offer of £5.5m. United fans were eternally grateful, as the slightly-built Norwegian went on to score the winning goal in the 1999 UEFA Champions League Final, helping the team secure the astonishing Treble and cementing his own place in the United folklore himself. These feats, as well as his likeable demeanour, have made Solskjær a firm favourite among the United supporters, inspiring many songs such as "Who Put the Ball in the Germans' Net?" and "You Are My Solskjær". Fans still sing songs in Solskjær's honor during United games, in spite of his recent longstanding injury. Only Éric Cantona and Roy Keane share a similar standing with the United fans.

Solskjær finally got the chance as a starter in the 2001-02 season, alongside Ruud van Nistelrooy, which he took with characteristic incisiveness, forcing Andrew Cole and Dwight Yorke onto the subs bench.

By 2002-03, both Andrew Cole and Dwight Yorke had left Old Trafford, and Solskjær had only the lacklustre Diego Forlán to compete with for a place in the starting line-up. Still, Ferguson's persistence in playing Ruud van Nistelrooy up front as a lone striker meant that opportunities were still limited for Solskjær.

Solskjær subsequently was given his chance again when David Beckham picked up an injury and the versatile Norwegian was played on the right wing. While proving himself to be a fine crosser of the ball, Solskjær also popped up with crucial goals, scoring a total of 16 goals for the season. It was a testament to his brilliant form that he was selected to play on the right wing in important matches, such as in the league game against Arsenal and the Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid, while Beckham was left on the bench. He also captained the team in a number of matches.

Solskjær played in the 1998 FIFA World Cup for Norway and Tiêu bản:Ec2 and has a cap of over 60.

[sửa] Chấn thương

In 2003-04, Solskjær found himself in and out of the United squad as he struggled with a recurring knee problem. Coupled with the arrival of Louis Saha from Fulham in January 2004, Solskjær found himself out of the first team and found himself either in his original 'supersub' role or in an attacking midfield position. Solskjær still returned from injury in time to appear in the 2004 FA Cup final, which United won. The arrival of Alan Smith in the summer of 2004 nonetheless led to rumours that he was to leave Old Trafford, along with Nicky Butt, who eventually went to Newcastle United, and David Bellion, who had been largely replaced in the first team by Wayne Rooney. Solskjær underwent intensive knee surgery in August 2004 and had to miss the 2004-05 season entirely. As he recovered his fitness, the heavy-weight strike force of Manchester United nevertheless limited the 32-year-old's chances, but the Old Trafford faithfuls displayed an almost fanatical loyalty to indicate that they desired to see him play again.

To show Solskjær that he had not been forgotten while out injured, fans added a banner to the famous collection that lines the Stretford End reading "20 LEGEND" [1] (Solskjær wears number 20 for United). Solskjær further solidified his status amongst United fans when he became a patron of the supporters action group, Shareholders United.

Solskjær made his long-awaited return to action on December 5 2005, playing for United's reserves against Liverpool^[1]. Spectators numbering 2,738 showed up to witness the comeback of the popular Norwegian - an above-average turn-out for a reserve team match. He made his first-team return as a substitute in the match against Birmingham City on 28 December. He then finally made his first start more than a year later in the FA cup match against Burton Albion, before playing a full game as a captain in the re-play. His return to full fitness slowly continued with regular appearances in the reserves, until on March 8 2006 when, during a game against Middlesbrough, he was accidentally caught by Ugo Ehiogu, breaking his cheekbone. While facing the possibility of missing the rest of the season^[2], he nevertheless appeared as a substitute against Sunderland on Good Friday.

Solskjær returned to Premiership action in August 23, 2006 when he scored in an away match against Charlton Athletic, his first Premiership goal since April 2003. Ferguson commented after the match that "it was a great moment for Ole, United fans everywhere, the players and the staff" and that "Ole has been through a torrid time with injuries for the last two years, but he's persevered and never lost faith and has got his repayment tonight. Everyone is over the moon for him." He continued his come-back in a spectacular fashion by putting in the winning goal in the Champions League clash with Celtic on September 13, fulfilling his post-injury ambition to score another goal at Old Trafford. Solskjær's first Premiership goal at Old Trafford since the return came on October 1 when he netted both goals in the 2-0 win against Newcastle United. His goalscoring form continued with when he started the away match against Wigan Athletic and struck a sublime finish to round off a 3-1 victory.

[sửa] Future career as player-coach

On March 31, 2006 Solskjær signed a new contract with Manchester United until the end of the 2008 season, with a provision to allow him to develop his coaching awards. He also acted in an ambassadorial role for the club, when he travelled to Hong Kong in 2006 and played with students at Manchester United Soccer School of Hong Kong. In July 2006, Solskjær participated in a pre-season game against Orlando Pirates, playing for 45 minutes and scoring 2 goals in United's 4-0 win. (In the final leg of the "challenge" United lost on Penalties.) He also scored in matches against Preston and Porto. Ferguson praised the player and said he would re-consider his plan to buy a new striker.^[3]. On August 16 2006 Solskjær returned for the Norwegian national team and played for 45 minutes against Brazil in a 1-1 draw.

On September 02 2006 Solskjær scored his first goals for the national team after his injury, when he scored the first and last goal in a 4-1 win against Hungary in a Euro 2008 qualifying match. It was also his first post-injury professional match where he played the full game.

His favourite Norwegian talent is Christer Johansen, "the right back is amazing" he said to the Norwegian newspaper Bergens Tidende.Tiêu bản:Citationneeded
