<\/p>\nTHE name Solskjaer instantly takes plenty of football fans back to a dramatic night at the Nou Camp in 1999.<\/p>\n
Teddy Sheringham had just equalised for Manchester United against Bayern Munich in injury time of the Champions League final.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And then up stepped Ole Gunnar Solskjaer with his 93rd-minute winner to complete the Red Devils\u2019 historic Treble and etch himself into footballing folklore.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now his kids are hoping to do the same by forging their own careers in the beautiful game.<\/p>\n
The bar, though, is remarkably high.<\/p>\n
Solskjaer, the son of a Greco-Roman wrestling champion, developed in the Clausenengen academy and broke into the senior squad aged 17 before heading to Molde.<\/p>\n
But just a year later, in 1996, the striker signed for Manchester United for just \u00a31.5million.\u00a0<\/p>\n The \u2018Baby-Faced Assassin\u2019 went on to make 366 appearances over the next 11 seasons – although he missed the entire 2004-05 campaign through injury – and scored 126 goals.\u00a0<\/p>\n The 67-cap Norway international won six Premier League titles under Sir Alex Ferguson as well as two FA Cups.<\/p>\n After hanging up his boots in 2007, he went into coaching with the United youth team before a miserable stint as Cardiff City manager sandwiched between two successful spells at Molde.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERS<\/strong><\/p>\n Then in December 2018, Solskjaer returned to Old Trafford as caretaker manager, replacing the sacked Jose Mourinho.<\/p>\n After a red-hot start, he was given the job on a permanent basis, reaching the Europa League final before his dismissal in November 2021.\u00a0<\/p>\n Ironically, though, Solskjaer managed AGAINST his own son as Noah Solskjaer made his senior football debut.<\/p>\n The then-19-year-old came on in a pre-season friendly between Kristiansund – the hometown of both him and his dad – and United in 2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n Solskjaer Jr, who started out at Clausenengen just like his old man, was released in 2021, though.<\/p>\n And he is now playing in midfield for fourth-division Spjelkavik in Norway.\u00a0<\/p>\n Noah has also proven he is not afraid to speak up for himself – with a cheeky dig at his dad and also bravely taking on Mourinho with a cheeky quip about his dad\u2019s parenting.\u00a0<\/p>\n The youngster revealed his idol is not Solskjaer Sr\u2026 but his former team-mate Wayne Rooney.<\/p>\n And he models his game on another ex-Red Devils man in Michael Carrick.<\/p>\n He said: "I have a small role model in Michael Carrick. In the beginning I started up front, but the longer it has gone on I have gone further back in the side.<\/p>\n "I'm now more of a No6 in midfield than a No10. It would be nice to get in the game. After seeing such big games, I've got used to it."<\/p>\n But Noah is not the only child of Ole and Silje who has inherited the footballing gene.<\/p>\n Youngest Elijah was in the Manchester United academy when Ole was first-team boss.<\/p>\n But daughter Karna was the one who wrote history when she made her debut for Manchester United Women in January 2022.<\/p>\n The striker came off the bench in the 88th minute of the Women\u2019s FA Cup win over Bridgwater United to replace Ferreira Fuso – with her proud parents watching from the stands.\u00a0<\/p>\n That saw Ole and Karna become the first father and daughter pair to play for Manchester United.\u00a0<\/p>\n Karna also helped the Red Devils win the 2022 WSL Academy Cup at St George\u2019s Park but left in 2022 to sign for Norwegian third-tier side AaFK Fortuna.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/JF-SPORT-SCHOLES.jpg\")
