Mentioning his playing days, Solskjaer said: “They’ve [the fans] been amazing with me since one of my first kicks on the ball, I scored with one of the first ones, until now.

“And I’m sure we’ll meet again because if there’s anywhere, I’m going to watch football games, that’s from Old Trafford.”

Adding when asked about his plans to return: “Definitely. If you want me pitchside with you, I’m there!

“No, I’m very happy and proud with what I’ve done with the good friends I’ve made, and I wish all the best to everyone.

“You know the staff here, we’ve been through criticisms and blah, blah, blah, but the way they conduct themselves and the way they work, the knowledge and the attitude, I admire them.

“Normally, I drive in at seven, half seven at times and I think, ‘I’ve caught them today, I’m in before them’ but no chance. There’s not been a day.”

Current United stars and club legends have offered emotional responses to Solskjaer’s exit, with his final record standing at 91 wins from 168 matches with 37 draws and 40 defeats.
