UNITED: Ole's magic moments
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's testimonial match against Espanyol on Saturday will bring his epic career to a close, with the man himself set to play one last game in the famous red shirt.
/noticias.info/ The occasion will give fans a chance to give the popular Norwegian the send-off he deserves after 326 appearances, 126 goals and many happy memories. But which is your favourite? The Nou Camp goal aside, we want you to choose from the five below...
A dream debut
25 Aug 1996, United 2 Blackburn 2
For Ole and United, it was love at first sight. Little hoopla surrounded his move, but that changed fast. With the Reds trailing Blackburn 2-1 at Old Trafford, Ole entered the fray in the 64th minute equalising just six minutes later to preserve an unbeaten 32-game home streak.

Last-minute wonder
24 Jan 1999, United 2 Liverpool 1
Liverpool led 1-0 through Michael Owen’s goal and, despite huffing and puffing, United couldn’t bring the house down. With two minutes left, Dwight Yorke levelled the scores. Shredded nerves restored, silence in the away end. Then pandemonium everywhere else. The 90 minutes were up when Ole swooped
Four-midable
6 Feb 1999, Forest 1 United 8
Against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground, Ole executed as deadly an example of finishing as you’ll see. He not only scored four goals, he did so in the 19 minutes available to him. The 8-1 – yes, 8-1 – remains the Premiership’s biggest away win.

A quadruple double
4 Dec 1999, United 5 Everton 1
Few players ever score four in a game, fewer do it twice in the space of nine months. United were one down against Everton, but levelled quickly through Denis Irwin. Then the fun began as Ole fired two doubles either side of the break.

Comeback king
23 Aug 2006, Charlton 0 United 3
On an emotionally charged scene on a rainswept, south London night, United’s travelling fans celebrated the third and final goal like it was 1999. Their hero was back. Ole scored for the first time since April 2003 (against Panathinaikos) and shared the love-in with United’s fans in Charlton’s Jimmy Seed Stand. notas_de_prensa_archivo
