Former Molde boss Age Hareide reckons Manchester United owe the club something for selling Ole Gunnar Solskjaer for a knockdown £1.5 million in 1996.

Solskjaer will have a testimonial at Old Trafford later this year and Hariede recalled on manutd.com: "Sir Alex phoned me up a lot to get my opinion on players in Norway.

"He knew I knew the English scene and wanted my views on certain players and how they might do in England. Then, finally [July 1996] came the day when the call was about one of my players. Sir Alex asked about Ole Gunnar. I knew we'd miss him badly, but you can't stand in a player's way when Manchester United come along.

"I told him: 'You've got to sign him.' And he did. United got him for £1.5 million! I think they owe me some money considering what they got!"
