Ole Gunnar Solskjær
Patron
United's Norwegian striker (and part time Elvis impersonator) will be forever remembered for his winning goal against Bayern Munich in the 1999 European Cup Final. The reds number 20 has been immortalised with his own banner hanging from the Stretford End. Signed by Sir Alex Ferguson for a mere £1.5 million in 1996, Ole soon became an indispensable member of the team that was to go on to win the 1999 Treble. And who could forget his 4 goals in 10 minutes against Notts Forest when he came on as sub? A successful striking partnership with Teddy Sheringham was followed by the arrival of Ruud van Nistelrooy and the duo immediately started to hit it off with Ole scoring 26 goals in their first season together. Recently, injury has blighted his career but with a career record of 115 goals in 199 apearances we are looking forward to the 'Assassin' making his 200th and to many more goals in the red shirt of United.
On being asked to become a Patron of SU/MUST Ole said: "I am honoured. I think it is important that the club remains in the right hands. I am absolutely on the supporters' side and think the club is in very good hands as it is today. I am a United fan myself and only want what is best for the future."
