United have this morning confirmed that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has signed a two year deal to stay at the club. It seems that despite his injuries he is still highly valued by the club. Ole said:

“I have always felt at home here and I want to repay the loyalty that has been shown to me by the club, the fans and Sir Alex.

"It has been a difficult and frustrating few years for me but I'm determined to prove my worth over the next few years and I am sure I can contribute to the team and their success. Although my priority is to keep playing I am looking forward to exploring the coaching opportunity being given to me by the club.

"I have spent many happy years at Old Trafford and it will be a great privilege to represent the Club in a wider role.”

Sir Alex said. “I am delighted that Ole has signed a new two year deal,"

"It reflects our hope that he would return to full play after his recent cheek injury.

"Ole has always adopted a positive position in that respect and his positive attitude gave him a big chance to come back. It will take Ole to thirty five and gives him the opportunity to develop his coaching experience.

"We also foresee him having a key role as an ambassador for the Club in the future,” the Reds boss added.
