Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admits he could've signed for Wolves as a player ahead of his current employers.

Solskjaer says a move to Wolves could have been on the cards if not for the quick thinking of club coach Jim Ryan.

“I did well for Norway one game when Jim Ryan was watching Ronnie Johnsen," recalled Solskjaer to the UTD Podcast.

“I scored two decent goals. Mark McGhee was sat next to him. So Jim Ryan asked Mark McGhee: 'What are you looking for?' He needed a forward, because he was manager at Wolverhampton at the time.

“So after I scored those two goals – and with Mark McGhee next to him [and] looking for a striker – Jimmy rang the gaffer straight away: 'I've found someone, we need to be quick. I think someone else might be interested in him.' And that was it."

Solskjaer also revealed: “Were Liverpool and Bayern Munich in for me? Yes, [and] Cagliari, PSV and a couple of other teams. But I wouldn't change the history. There was only one choice. It was fantastic when the call came.

“The owners of Molde asked me to come to the office. 'We've got this offer – do you fancy it?' Yeah, okay. They were going to go on holiday the next couple of days. Martin Edwards was going to go on holiday as well, so we had to come in the next day. Their private jet was down by some fault, so they booked and rented another private jet just to fly me over."
