Ole Gunnar Solskjaer tells his Manchester United stars to seize the moment and become heroes with Europa League triumph in Gdansk - and boss insists: 'Whoever starts, enjoy it because you don’t get too many finals in your life'

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has called on his Manchester United players to become heroes in Gdansk - 22 years to the day after he went down in Old Trafford folklore.

Solskjaer’s late winner as a substitute against Bayern Munich in the Champions League final on May 26, 1999 is arguably the greatest goal in United’s history.

On Wednesday night in the Gdansk Stadium, the 48-year-old will draw on that momentous occasion as he tries to win his first trophy as United manager in the Europa League final against Villarreal.

‘What I learnt was: trust your team, trust your gut instinct,’ said Solskjaer, who famously told a friend in Norway to tune in for the ’99 final because the United striker predicted something big was going to happen.
