LONDON, Aug 28 (AFP): Manchester United striker Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is set to announce his retirement from football, according to The Sun newspaper.
Solskjaer is a hero at Old Trafford having scored the winning goal in the 1999 Champions League final, after coming on as a substitute.
But the 'Baby-Faced Assassin' has long suffered from knee problems and has played little over the last four years.
According to The Sun, the 34-year-old -- who has not appeared in any of United's matches so far this season -- will finally admit defeat in his long-running battle with injury.
Solskjaer's last game was the FA Cup final defeat to Chelsea on May 19 when he came on as an extra-time substitute at Wembley.
He has already spent time at United coaching young players as he looks forward to life after his playing career.
